This is Ashley Stone and you're listening to the Comeback Podcast.

So that's why I just kind of let Heavenly Father decide who the who the next guest is and that's that's how it goes so

Thank you. I'm very grateful for the opportunity That's how it goes. So.

Thank you.

I'm very grateful for the opportunity.

Yes, yes.

So, okay, so why don't we, tell me a little bit about you,

I'd love to hear just kind of, you know, a little bit about you and then let's just jump into your story.

Well, I have grown up in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I grew up in a very, very happy, very active, faithful

Latter-day Saint home.

And let me just tell you briefly about my parents because that's kind of interesting to me anyway.

My mother came from good old pioneer stock,

very faithful, very, you know, humble means.

It was the depression and all that.

And my dad grew up in a more financially stable home but they were not active.

I think his mother maybe had been baptized but was not active and his father was kind of an alcoholic

off and on and kind of anti-Morman. Sweet man, good people and when he met my mom and they got married he made a very conscious decision early on in their marriage.

He looked at both those families and decided he wanted a family like my mom's side and he decided that he wanted to be active in the church and so he jumped in they both jumped in with both feet and that's how we were raised. There were six of us, I was the fourth and all six of us have remained faithful and very happy with the gospel. My husband was also active. He passed away about eight years ago and I think

what attracted me to him more than anything was his faith and his testimony and that's

something that we shared.

He had lots of health problems through most of our married life.

And it was tough.
