Last Saturday was the first ASL Endowment session at the Denver Temple! It was a wonderful experience. There were 6 deaf members who came out for the session and lots of other people connected with the Deaf community. Best of all, we are able to be part of it! Mike is an ordinance worker and I am a volunteer (women with children under 18 can't be ordinance workers).
We have missed working in the temple ever since we moved from Utah. Then one day the temple President (who was my stake president when I was young) came and spoke at our stake conference. After the meeting, Mike approached him about the possibility of having ASL sessions. Earlier that week a temple worker (Bro. Roberts) who has deaf parents had approached him about the same thing. Needless to say, he felt impressed that it was something that needed to happen. Brother Roberts got everything coordinated and the first session was a huge success! There will now be monthly ASL sessions at the Denver temple!!!! We are so excited!
Brother Roberts and his wife will be leaving to serve a mission next month and so they called Mike to the the coordinator for the ASL sessions. He is very excited, but he keeps saying like he feels too young, haha. I know he will do an amazing job, and that deaf members here will be SO blessed by having a session in their native language.
