On January 1st, 2023, as the world was celebrating the dawning of a new year and all the possibilities

that it would bring, Conlon and Rachel Bonner awoke to a parent's worst nightmare. Their

nine-month-old baby Joshua had passed away. In the months since Joshua's passing, the

bonters have shared their witness again and again that this life is not the end and that

they know they will see their Joshua again. Conlon Bonner is a member of the performing group,

the Bonner family, who have traveled nationally and internationally, sharing their message of faith

in Christ-like love. He worked as a seminary teacher for six years and is now a diversity,

equity, and inclusion consultant for various municipalities, school districts,

and corporations in Utah. Rachel Bonner grew up in Texas and Brazil, the seventh of nine children.

She has worked as a music teacher, real estate investor, Portuguese immersion teacher,

and senior MTC tutor. She is a proud mother of six children and loves to play games,

bake, make crafts, and serve.

This is All-End, an LDS living podcast where we ask the question,

what does it really mean to be All-End the gospel of Jesus Christ? I'm Morgan Pearson and I

am honored to have Conlon and Rachel Bonner on the line with me today, Conlon and Rachel,

welcome. Thank you. Thank you so much, Morgan. Well, I am so honored and feel so lucky to be the one

to have this conversation with you all. And just I want to start by saying how much I have appreciated

both of you and not just in the past four or five months. I've admired both of you for a long time,

and I think as we talk together today, other people will see why. They will be amazed by your

faith and example just like I have been. But I wanted to start. This is like a selfish thing.

I wondered if you could tell me, tell us a little bit about your family and specifically,

I'd love to know how the two of you met.
