Haley Moreno is a full-time working mom of two kids (and Ralph the dog). She was born and raised in Salt Lake City and obtained a business degree from the best school in Utah, The University of Utah. She met her husband during her first couple weeks of college. After they dated, Haley and her husband were married in 2014 and sealed as a family of four in 2017. Haley is a mortgage loan officer and loves people and numbers. Her family loves traveling, especially to Puerto Rico to visit family where they enjoy the culture (and beach). Haley doesn't love to read so podcasts are her jam!
Exactly two years ago to the day, I went to the Provo Temple and got endowed. It wasn't because I was going on a mission, and it wasn't because I was getting married, (not saying those aren't awesome and just as important reasons, just as long as you're going for you and for the right reasons) I went because I wanted to go on my own, I went because it was individually really important to me. I went because I wanted to be closer to God and strengthen my relationship with Him. Two weeks later, I became an ordinance worker. Since then, and aside from the nights I worked there, I have been to the temple at least every week since this day two years ago. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it. But there are plenty of those who have not yet been and have questions about it. Here are my responses.

"I found some new gems in the story of Ruth and Naomi that have changed my outlook on my own female friendships."
Most of us have the same perception of consecration that Steven Harper had when he went to the temple for the first time: The Lord “revealed the law of consecration to the early Saints. They couldn’t live it, so the Lord revoked the higher law, gave the lower law of tithing, and would someday give the higher law again.” But if someone had asked him how he knew that, he says he wouldn't have had an answer. Now after studying the topic for years, Harper has a different understanding of what consecration is and on this week’s episode he shares the answers he's found with us.
Interviewing your best friend is an interesting and unique opportunity. I have had the chance to interview my friend Chelsie Hightower a couple of times. The first time, a couple of years ago, we sat in my living room, laughing and crying together as Chelsie shared her story with me and subsequently with thousands of readers of the Deseret News. Chelsie and I have conversations about life on a regular basis. She is one of those people that is really great at going deep with people fast, and from our first conversation, I’ve been impressed by her love for God and her desire to do God’s will in her life. Still, I recognize that there is an added element of vulnerability required to share deeply personal parts of our lives with complete strangers.
