Signs of the Gospel Message

The last couple of weeks we have been teaching a young girl (whose parents are members) who only communicates with sign language. Her name is Sarbia and we baptized her this past Saturday. We had been teaching her for about two weeks and it was really a great experience. I can officially teach the four lessons with sign language. Every night Elder Quiroga and I would practice the lesson we were going to teach her and planned out what pictures we were going to use to help her understand and feel the importance and the truth of the Gospel. Her mom also helped us out quite a bit with some principles that we weren’t quite able teach. Her dad is a less active and he too joined us during the lessons and this past Sunday he came to church and after our meetings he cooked us lunch. But the best part came after the baptism of Sarbia and it was her turn to share her testimony. She told us that he had been practicing her testimony and so she got up and shared her testimony with nothing but sign language.
