The Family Proclamation states, "Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally."
Our guest for this episode, Michelle Hansen, is a humble, gentle, and kind disciple. Her son Drew was 13 years old when he unexpectedly passed away in July 2023. Michelle understands the ache of having a child on the other side of the veil. We marvel at her ability to deliver a pure testimony of our Savior's plan of happiness and her capacity to keep an eternal perspective. Michelle also shares powerful stories about her family joining the church in Japan and miracles from missionary work.
Michelle's husband once gave her a shirt that says, "Having a weird mom builds character." She wears it with pride! Michelle Hansen is a mother of six children. She grew up in Orem, Utah, and graduated from Orem High School. She served an LDS mission in São Paulo, Brazil. Michelle later earned a degree in Music Education and a Master's in Clarinet Performance from Brigham Young University before marrying Bruce Hansen and raising her family. She has worked as a flight attendant for United Airlines and currently teaches piano, clarinet, and early music concepts to young children.
