Speaking of Martinez de la Torre, the sister missionaries there came across a man who is a deaf/mute. Somehow, they were able to communicate with him and figured out that he wanted to take the lessons. So, they taught him. They wrote him notes and drew pictures and made him this little study book. He is able to read, so the Book of Mormon was a powerful revelation for him.


With that and a lot of help from the Spirit, Emelio was baptized. Elder Dunn, the zone leader did the baptismal interview. He told me that Emilio does not talk. He cannot say one word, but he does make kind of grunting noises. As Elder Dunn talked with the deaf man, and worked through the workbook, Emilio tried to answer but could only make odd noises. Elder Dunn reported that he understood, in his mind, every word that Emilio was trying to say. He heard words. The missionaries are Sister Anguiano and Calvillo.
