Meet Al !
A native New Yorker, she joined the Church in 2009 and
has since moved to Utah, gotten married, and now has
an adorable baby girl. Al’s passion is sharing the gospel
of Jesus Christ and she spends her time traveling to
youth events, speaking engagements, and spreading
the joy she has found by living the gospel. Below you’ll
find some Q&A with this awesome example of a gal!
What is your favorite color?
Blue.
What is one of your quirks?
I love complimenting strangers all the
time! And I’m really awkward…all the
time, haha.
If you could travel anywhere in the
world where would it be and why?
Arizona. It’s my favorite, I love hot and
cactuses.
How did you meet your husband Ben?
I met him while he was serving his
mission in PA. His mission was 1 of 5
missions that piloted Facebook before
the church came out and made that
announcement. His whole mission
added me because of my blog and
videos. He Facebook messaged me
about an investigator he was teaching
then it slowly turned into I would get his
weekly emails home FWDed to me.
Then it turned into emailing every day
(because he was allowed to email every
day) and sending short video messages
to each other. We did this for a year and
a half. He called me as soon as he got
released as an Elder. We hung out a day
later. And now he’s stuck with me!
What is your favorite scripture and
why?
3rd Nephi 13:33 - it was right after I got
baptized and in the middle of me losing
all my friends and my family freaking out
beyond what I thought I was able to
handle, and I read this. I was overcome
with confidence that no matter what, no
matter how hard things got or how
alone I felt, if I put God first everything
would not only fall into place, but it
would be better than things were before
the hard times ever came. I held onto
that scripture and ran, and it has been
my strength in my weak times, even
now.
But seek ye first
the kingdom of God
and His righteousness,
and all these things shall
be added unto you.
3 Nephi 13:33
