Sister Kelley often states, "This is the invitation that changed my entire life". Elder Kelley married Zeneta, his best friend and first true love, on December 8, 2009. From the beginning of their union, they established the foundation of their marriage on the principle of God first and each other second.
In 1996, during his senior year of high school, Elder Kelley was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia. Despite the health challenges with his illness, he stayed encouraged, pressing towards the mark, giving God the praise. His life was a true testimony to the glory of God.
