Summary

Jenny Guthrie was a freshman in college when she first "found Jesus"and her life has never been the same since. From supporting her husband in his career in Major League Baseball to being a mission leader of the Texas Houston South Mission, her relationship with Christ has been a game changer in her life. Now, she's passionate about helping young people come to know this same Jesus that she found as a young woman. She recognizes that whether new converts or lifelong members, we all have to "seek this Jesus"—but it is her testimony that when we seek Him, we find Him every single time.

0:00.0	Recently, I was teaching a lesson in seminary related to family history. As I began to prepare,
0:07.8	I started to feel unqualified to teach. After all, I still really don't know how to index,
0:14.3	but then I started to recall things I've learned from Roots Tech over the years about
0:18.9	what family history is all about. I realized I've actually done quite a bit of family history.
0:24.7	I'll never forget the first time I went to Roots Tech. This event is no joke. With amazing
0:30.8	speakers, classes, and a huge expo hall where you can try out the latest innovations, there's
0:36.8	no way that you don't walk away from Roots Tech feeling inspired, united, and excited about
0:42.8	your family's story. This year, Roots Tech, the world's largest family history event, is
0:48.8	back in person on March 2nd through the 4th at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City. It is one event I
0:55.8	have never regretted attending, and no matter your age or family history skill level, I think you'll
1:01.5	love it. In-person passes for all three days are only $98, or you can join virtually with millions of
1:09.8	others across the globe for free. Register now at Roots Tech.org. When he retired for Major League
1:23.4	Baseball in 2017, Jeremy Guthrie wrote of his wife, you are the MVP of our family. You provided
1:31.0	the stability at home that helped me accomplish so much on the field. It is not possible to express
1:37.0	my full gratitude for your love and support. Thank you for everything, Jenny. At the time, the couple
1:43.4	had no idea what would come next. Jenny Guthrie is originally from Oregon where her family now lives.
1:50.2	She and her husband, Jeremy, served as mission leaders of the Texas Houston South Mission from
1:56.0	2018 to 2021. Jenny is a seminary teacher and a mother of four children whom she calls her
2:03.8	greatest treasure in life. This is All-End, an LDS living podcast where we ask the question,
2:13.9	what does it really mean to be All-End the Gospel of Jesus Christ? I'm Morgan Pearson, and I am
2:20.0	so excited to have Jenny Guthrie on the line with me today, Jenny. Welcome. Oh, thank you Morgan.
2:25.9	This is such an honor to be on this podcast with you. I've been a listener for years, so super honored.
