Shahna thinks of herself as someone who is mediocre at a lot of things and a master of none, but she is totally okay with that. She is a native Texan, a teen convert to the church and a recently transitioned empty nester. (Don’t believe what they say, it is awesome!) Most of her days are spent doing a work she loves as a Professional Mental Health Counselor with licenses in TX, ID, and UT. She is a big believer in routines, community service, reading before bedtime, journaling, and breaking a sweat most days of the week. She developed a love of scriptures by attending a local institute class during a particularly trying time in her family’s life and has had the chance to pay it forward for the last 10 years as an institute instructor herself! She believes in the power of good conversation with a close friend over chips, guacamole, and Diet Coke. The biggest blessings of her life were giving birth to five of her six favorite humans on the planet and being married to the best man she has ever known for more than half of her life.

We are Jim and Aileen Jensen. We are married with 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. We love working in our yard, tackling home remodeling projects, traveling, and serving others. Jim is a convert to the church, and Aileen is a lifelong member. We are grateful for the blessings the gospel offers our family.

Shannon Foster is a wife, mom, and former seminary teacher who helps people study the scriptures in the middle of real life—between laundry piles and carpool runs. She didn’t understand the scriptures when she was younger, and that experience has become her superpower in helping others truly fall in love with them. She's happiest in the mountains with her family, staying up late and losing at board games. She's the founder of The Red Headed Hostess, where she creates gospel learning tools that feel doable and deeply meaningful. She believes the Lord always makes a way—and that walking with Him leads to more than we ever imagined.
