Sister of the Month - Sister Kristy Gellersen

I was born and lived in what is now West Valley City until 6th grade. I then moved to Highland until I graduated from High School. Then I moved to Old Farm until I Married Roy. I have lived on 8th East as long as I have been married. I graduated from Westminster as a teacher and later from The College of Phoenix with a Masters Degree in Curriculum Design. My family wasn't active in the church, but while living in Highland the Missionaries worked with me for several years to join the church. It wasn't until they came and taught me about Celestial Marriage and that my family could be with me forever, that I realized that the church is true. I joined the church when I was 18 and was determined to do my best to be a good member. It is now 30 or so years since I became a member. I find the world full of beautiful mysteries that tell me again and again that the church is true. I see it in a new baby, or a sunset. I see God's creation in a little puppy as well as the spectacular mountains that we live by. I have been a 1st grade teacher for many years and I see God's help as I teach children to read. May the Lord be with you in all you do. With Love, Kristy Gellersen
