Updated deaflds.org Directory
By Deaflds.org Staff / October 8, 2006
You'll notice a new addition to the deaflds.org Deaf Unit Directory: international Deaf units. We're starting with just the small amount of information we have, but hope to learn more about these international units and members over the next several months.
In addition, we've added several new units since we last published in June; branches and groups from Colorado, South Dakota, California, Virginia, and more have sent us information. Make sure to look to see if your ward, branch, or group is listed.
If you have information, please contact 
info@deaflds.org.

"Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple" Now Available in ASL on DVD
By Deaflds.org Staff / October 6, 2006
The ASL translation of the Church's "Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple" is now available on DVD. The ASL translation of "Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple" is taken from the booklet of the same name (written by Boyd K. Packer of the Church's Quorum of the Twelve) and will be of great help for members of the Church who are being sealed in the temple or are preparing to enter the temple for the first time. There is no audio track, but there are English subtitles.
To order this DVD, go to www.ldscatalog.org, enter the product number 36793010, and click Go; this will go directly to the order screen for the Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple ASL DVD. Cost is $1.00.
Church Begins Offering Spanish-language Closed Captioning
By Deaflds.org Staff / October 6, 2006
You probably didn't notice at the last general conference—unless you also know Spanish or use your TV's CC2 setting—but for the first time ever, now Deaf Church members have a choice in the language that shows up in their television's closed captioning. At the fall general conference held on September 30 and October 1, 2006, real-time Spanish-language closed captioning was available during all five sessions. Several Central and South American countries now have various-sized Deaf branches (Mexico City, Venezuela, Chile) and while there are no signed or interpreted Church DVDs or videos available in these Latin signed languages, closed captioning is certainly a great help to Deaf members in these countries.
