Getting "caught" reading can change your life. . .

Mallory was very excited when I interviewed her for the blog/newsletter. Then weeks went by and the write up didn't come. Finally it is here. I met with Mallory a few weeks before she spoke in Sacrament meeting. She was helping out in nursery and I found out she is very excited to be pregnant with her first child. She is due February 15th, but she is going to push it out on the 14th, she says.

Mallory is married to Tim Withers. She is a native of Arizona. She was married March 7th and moved to our ward into our ward to start her married life. Mallory and Tim met through mutual friends in high school. They dated for 2 months. Then Tim left for his mission. They kept in touch via mutual friends for the next 7 years. One day she signed on to AIM (instant messaging on the computer) and he was there. She took him out and bought him lunch and they have been together ever since.
Sister Withers is a convert to the church. A few years ago she was working for a doctors office where everyone was Mormon. One day at work she was reading the Book of Mormon and some one "caught" her. She thought she was going to be in trouble for reading it. She wasn't sure she was allowed to read it. Her coworkers let her know it was a-ok to read the Book of Mormon. They set her up with the missionaries and 3 months later she was baptised.

Mallory works for a doctor in Scottsdale. For fun she likes to go shopping but she is not a good sale shopper. She also goes on hikes with her husband.
