Fernando Martinez Sanchez is one of many deaf young single adults who are counting down the days until the American Sign Language YSA conference sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in August.
“I think it’s going to be amazing for everyone to be able to come and see each other,” said Sanchez, a student at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Sanchez joined the Church last year and is a member of the ASL institute council who is helping plan the young single adult conference.
“We’re hoping to have over 100 people be involved to learn about the Church, to learn about the gospel, and to be able to feel the Spirit. For me, that’s very important. It’s an important part of my life because I want to continue to follow Jesus Christ, forever,” he said.
