Spotlight of the Week
Jenny Thacker
Jenny Thacker is this week’s spotlight. She is kind, funny, and REAL. She says it like it is. She does not beat around the bush. You should really get to know her. Her birthday is March 9, 1974. She was born and grew up in Grantsville, Utah. She attended Grantsville High School. After high school graduation, she went to BYU! In September of her senior year, she met a guy named Ryan. One of Jenny’s roommates was Ryan’s mission president’s daughter. This roommate had a photo album and when Jenny saw a picture of Ryan, she wanted to meet him. So, her roomie set them up on their first date to a BYU football game. During this date, Jenny noticed her “old” boyfriend was also at the game and just three rows up from her and Ryan. So, during half time and all of the 3rd quarter, Jenny decided to hang out with her “old” boyfriend. Ryan was, of course, not happy about this; but Jenny won him over during the 4th quarter of the game. Just a few months later, they married in February of 1996. They have 4 boys. One of the greatest things about being a mother is when her kids are asleep (just kidding, lol). She loves to see their faces when they are happy. Her favorite food is Mexican, but she LOVES “Ruby River”. Her favorite dish to order is “Smothered Chicken”. She enjoys reading. Jenny has participated in 3 pageants and volunteers at the “Miss Utah Pageant” each year. I hope you enjoyed getting to know another Sister in our ward. (By Cindy Delano)

“A Heart Like His”
Virginia H. Pearce
“What is the most desirable, the most delicious, the most joyous above all to the soul? That’s easy to answer: It’s being flooded with God’s love, being awash with His profound acceptance and glory, being encircled and comforted and healed and set free to go and do!”
