Amy Gruidl
Ordained Minister in Nampa, Idaho
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Originally I was working at a jewelry store selling engagement rings and love working with my customer so much! Hearing their story and helping them come up with them engagement ideas was so exciting. It was so fun and such an horor being apart of the process of someone's childhood dreams coming true. I always told my customers to make sure they come back and tell me how it went. I always waited as patiently as I could to hear how it all played out! Being part of someone's story, they're happily ever after is very rewarding. I also did wedding planning so I thought why not get ordained as well.
It worked out well when my dad fell ill. I was able to perform a wedding for my brother and his now wife, in our family home, so our dad was be there too. After that, I I felt I would be too shy to stand up in front of everybody staring at me while performing a wedding.
Recently, I was able to perform my own son's wedding with his beautiful bride.
My passion is making sure our elderly are not alone in their final hours I want to make sure I can bring them comfort in their send off. I have years of experience with the elderly community nursing. With me seeing our things I have sat with hundreds as they go to their creator or take their final breath. I would love to be there for comfort.
I would love to have anyone make their dreams come true and happy ever after. I love people all people from all walks of life. I am very interested in interested in all cultures religions backgrounds and beliefs.

Additional Information
Growing up my family was Catholic. I went to Catholic Mass with my grandma every Saturday evening. I had a elderly couple for neighbors my whole life they were like my grandparents and they went to the Nazarene Church. The Christian Nazarene Church is where I spent most of my time. I went to the Nazarene Church religiously with my neighbors I went every Wednesday night every Sunday morning and every Sunday evening. At 12 years old, I began my ministry being paid minimum wage, teaching in the Sunday School. This was my first employment other than babysitting. I did this until I was 15 in high school. I started a CNA program through BSU while going to high school then started working night shift at the local nursing home that's when I lost my way from religion awhile as I had to work through services. In my life, I'll just say wanderlust. I have been very fortunate to traveled much the United States as well as Alaska and Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Germany, & all of Jamaica. I am honored to say I have met people of every religion creed belief mindset mental health illness. I have sat beside many as they have met their creator or took their last breath. I have laughed alongside many. I have cried and hugged family members in the room after losing a loved one. I have all the stuff cried and hugged family members after their daughter was married. I am here for you no matter if it for the highs or lows.
