Jenny: Mormon.

Hi, I'm Jenny

I grew up in Minnesota. I'm a mother and a wife. I'm a karaoke singer. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

My hobbies include reading, singing, spending time with my family, cooking and singing karaoke. I'm a mother of a little girl and find her to be the biggest blessing in my life. I also stay at home with her which is another great blessing. I love to help with parties, especially weddings.

Why I am a Mormon

When I was 22 years old I married a man whose family were inactive members of the Church. We had moved to a new town and I so desperately wanted to find a church to attend. I had moved from a small town and was trying to find that "small town" feel in a bigger city church. I attended quite a few church services without success. I knew that my neighbors were LDS and they had become good friends of mine. So, one day I stopped by their house and asked if I could go to church with them the following week. I didn't need a ride but just wanted to know someone there when I arrived. They gladly accepted and told me where and when to meet them. My first church meetings were great! I came home with a load of books/dvds and an appointment with the missionaries. I took all the discussions at my neighbor's house as my husband didn't really want to be part of it. I was baptized after a month of discussions and truly haven't looked back. I had to sacrifice many things to continue to grow in the Gospel and my marriage of 4 years, was one of them. We just weren't going in the same direction in life and it was causing us each a lot of pain. I chose the Gospel because I knew it was the right thing and I had faith that Heavenly Father would provide for me. He did! He brought many good friends to support me and some are considered family members today. I began attending singles events in the Fall of 2008 and I met my eternal companion and we were sealed together in 2009. My life has taken many different paths to get to the place that I'm in today but I needed all of those "detours" to be truly grateful for the blessings that I have. I know that the members of the church I grew up in are good people and were wonderful examples to me but I truly know that I'm in Heavenly Father's church. I can so easily recognize his hand in my life now and I intend to do all that I can to share that with others.

Personal Stories

How has attending Church services helped you?

Attending Church has helped me to be a more devoted member. I view church as a recharging of my spiritual battery. I feel by Sunday my battery is pretty low and is in need of a charge. When I leave Church I feel recharged and ready to take on the week. I also know that attending all the meetings has taught me diligence and reverence. It's a huge blessing to worship on the Lord's day and to learn more of his teachings. Also to refrain from things like work, television and shopping has blessed me to find the joy in spending time with my family members. All around I'm a better person because I attend Church meetings and I feel closer to my Heavenly Father.

How I live my faith

I've had many opportunities to teach the children at Church. I am so amazed at the knowledge of the savior that these sweet children have and their abilities to share that with others. I've learned so much from their faith. I was placed there to be their example but they truly were the example to me.
