Hi, I'm Sue

I'm a volunteer advocate for children's issues. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am married with two adult sons and I spend a lot of my time volunteering. I hang around Utah Legislature and Utah State Board of Education meetings talking about children's issues and tweeting. I also like to garden and I'm learning to quilt.

Why I am a Mormon

I grew up in the Mormon church and was baptized when I was eight years old. I attended early-morning seminary classes before going to regular high school classes and slowly grew my testimony of the Savior. When I was on my own at college, I discovered that I had to really know and that was the time I worked hard to gain my own testimony of Christ and His plan for our happiness.

How I live my faith

I have spent the last several years conducting the ward choir and really loved doing that. It was time for someone else to have that blessing and now I am playing the piano in Primary for the children ages 3-11. It's great!

How are the activities of the Mormon missionaries funded?

Sue answered...

My sons earned their own money to pay for their missionary service. We supplemented what they couldn't get earned so they could serve a mission because it's all paid for by the missionaries themselves.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Gregg answered...

We believe the Bible and other records passed down through centuries, that God has spoken to man starting with Adam and Eve and continues to speak to us in modern days. God loves us and knows what will bring us true joy in this life and in the life to come. He has declared and continues to command that sexual relations are only to be practiced between husband and wife, legally and lawfully married. He has ordained marriage for the purpose of binding husbands and wives together in a special relationship that can last not just in this life, but for all eternity, and to bring children into the world and nurture them.

Others will fail to understand these truths or try to change them, but the family is central to God's plan and he continues to make his will quite clear on this matter. As members of his church, we will defend these truths.
