CHAD
A native of Utah, Chad is a second-year graduate student in chemical engineering at the University of Washington specializing in nanotherapeutics for pediatric neurological diseases. When he isn’t grading papers or tracking nanoparticles, he loves to spend time with his beautiful wife, Jenni, and his 6-month-old daughter. He served a mission in Frankfurt, Germany and keeps up his Deutsch with German novels, Netflix, and pen pals. He curbs his Wanderlust with hikes in the nearby Cascades and is seldom without a book in hand. His experience with same-sex attraction was the catalyst that enlivened his faith and hope in God. Having a united faith in Jesus Christ has helped Chad and Jenni knit their hearts together into one.
JENNI
Growing up, Jenni didn’t know how to act around gay people or what she thought about them. She found it easier to avoid them altogether. But through the experiences in her life, and as she came to rely on the Atonement of the Savior to help her through her own struggles, she found she was able to not only accept a man who was gay into her life, she was able to choose eternity with him. She is married to Chad who is gay. She is so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and wants to share her many blessings with others in any way she can.

From an outsider’s view, my life could look pretty good and even privileged. In many ways, they’d be right. They would also be wrong.
