Abigail Harper

Jackie has learned that good things come to those who wait and pray. She is a convert to the Church and waited 11 years from the day of her baptism to marry her husband Blair in the Washington D.C. Temple. Almost 4 ½ years later, they welcomed their dear son Collwyn into their family. They now have a sweet daughter-in-law Kadrie and a precious grandson, Oliver. Jackie has served in the Church in the Primary and the Relief Society as well as serving in other callings. She enjoys cooking and baking, reading, knitting, and spending time with family and friends whether on the phone or in person. She is still waiting and praying for more good things to come in her life.

Cole Wissinger

Cole has been doing podcasts and radio since high school and is excited to now be doing it for LDSLiving.

And maybe get a few questions right.
