Dear Dave, How do you feel about pre-nuptial agreements?

Kendra Nielsen

A little bit about me… I have lived in the Salt Lake Valley for most of my life. I worked at a salon in Holladay, Utah doing hair and getting to visit with the most amazing women. I had the opportunity to cook on a local tv show and although I no longer do that I still love to bake yummy treats! In 2021 my family had a short stint in Celina, Texas. We loved it there. We learned that everything really is bigger in Texas! We fell in love with the people, Buccees, Bbq, football games and the amazing sunsets. We did not fall in love with the weather and bugs! Now I am living in St. George Utah where we wake up in paradise every single day! I love living here and know Heavenly Father had a hand in getting me here at this specific time for His specific reasons.

When the pair gave her a hug, she knew something was very, very wrong.

The Beautiful Lesson This Woman Learned About God After Removing Her Name From Church Records and Coming Back Again

My parents divorced before I was born, setting the tone for an inconsistent religious upbringing. Although my mom grew up in a Mormon family, she was no longer religious. My dad and stepmom were members of the Mormon church but weren’t very active. As a result, I scarcely went to church growing up. I was baptized at 8 years old, but I didn’t understand what it meant.

Many young sisters are having the chance to serve a mission at a younger age since President Thomas S.

How the Church Strengthens Women, Especially When the Culture Can Overwhelm Us

What a good reminder that fits perfectly with this quote from Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson: “May I point out something obvious? Life rarely goes exactly according to plan for anyone, and we are very aware that not all women are experiencing what the proclamation describes. It is still important to understand and teach the Lord’s pattern and strive for the realization of that pattern the best we can.”
