By Jannalee Sandau

Members of the Church come from a variety of places and speak a variety of languages, but one group of Latter-day Saints are especially unique because of their signed language.

In fact, temple sessions, general conference, and many church pageants in the United States now offer American Sign Language interpretation in addition to other widely-spoken languages, like Spanish.

Do Good Anyway

In all of my various roles within the church from being an EFY counselor to Elder Quorum President, I have been asked numerous times “What’s the use?” This question is often prefaced with something along the lines of “I’ve been ________ (insert some positive action or deed, like going to church) but lately I’ve noticed _______ (insert negative event or outcome).

The Miracle That Led One Missionary to Reuniting with His Long-Lost Sister + More
