Mark and I try to go to the temple at least once a month. It helps us be better people. It helps us grow closer together. And it strengthens us spiritually.
Last night we went to the Jordan River Temple to do sealings. We ended up in a room where the ordinance was spoken as well as signed in American Sign Language. It was wonderful. The witnesses were both deaf. And five of the ten patrons were deaf.
Interestingly enough, last month we ended up in the deaf endowment session. Two months in a row? Crazy.
I told Mark it's a sign, that he should take a class.
After we finished, the two witnesses almost ran up to Mark to start talking to him. Mark had signed our last name and he had done one or two other signs throughout the hour we were there--so the witnesses wanted to talk to this young man that they'd never met who apparently knew sign. Mark had to tell them he only knew his alphabet and a few things. Mark took a few "classes" from a friend at BYU who had just returned from an ASL mission.
Anyway, it was a super cool experience.
Oh, and it was also a great way to start out our third year of marriage--by reviewing the covenants we made two years ago.
