In the October 2025 general conference, Sister J. Anette Dennis said, "Christlike treatment of others goes far beyond our families and congregations. It includes our sisters and brothers of other faiths or no faith at all. It includes our brothers and sisters from other countries and cultures, as well as those of different political persuasions. We are all part of the family of God, and He loves all His children. He desires that His children love Him and also one another." Breanna Pennock grew up in an energetic family that taught her to love all of God's children. She has channeled that energy toward expressing love to our brothers and sisters throughout the world.  Breanna grew up in Lindon, Utah, and started her college journey playing soccer at BYU–Hawaii, where she spent every spare moment surfing, hiking, and exploring the island. After serving a mission in Portugal, Breanna transferred to BYU in Provo to study accounting and discovered a love for strategic problem-solving and business. Now, she's the Chief Strategy Officer at HXP—an international nonprofit that leads humanitarian trips across the globe for thousands of youth. It's fast-paced, meaningful, and never dull. Outside of work, Breanna invests in real estate, loves staying active, and is always on the lookout for her next adventure.  So far, Breanna has visited over 40 countries, bungee jumped in New Zealand, and completed two five-day wilderness survival competitions in Maine. Her main joy comes from spending Saturdays at the Orem temple as a temple worker. She's been doing that for 5 years now at both the Orem and Provo temples, and she loves every minute of it. Breanna is grateful for her time with God and for seeing His miracles in her life every day.
