My name is Michelle. I have been married now for 7 years and we have three beautiful, busy children ages 5, 3 and 7 months. I have been a member of the Church all my life – a whopping 38 years.
I was born in Magrath, Alberta, Canada but consider my home to be Calgary, Alberta. I am a junior high French teacher by trade but my career now is full-time mom. My current calling in the Church is 1st Counselor in the Primary Presidency.
I love photography (photographing my kids especially), making jewelry, traveling, eating out, watching movies with my husband, keeping active and being in the great outdoors.
Being challenged to read the Book of Mormon as a teenager during seminary changed my life and was the foundation of a rock solid testimony of the Savior and His teachings.
I love knowing that there is a plan for us on the earth – that families are forever. I love knowing that we aren’t perfect and that when we make mistakes we can go to a loving Savior who has made it possible for us to return to live with Him.
I know God loves me because I see it in the eyes of my children every day. I feel it in my heart as I kneel to pray, as we sit together for family home evening and I listen to my 5 year-old give the lesson, and as I sing “I Am a Child of God” every night to my son. I just know.

I’m blessed to know Michelle in real life. She has an amazing testimony of the Lord and His love and it shiens through in everything she does.
Thank you for sharing Michelle. It is so nice to get to know other LDS women.
“I Am a Child of God” is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs. It is perfectly fit for children and adults to enjoy and reflect on.
