Thank you Ilaise for sharing with us! We are excited to get to know you.
1.Tell us about you and your family.
In our family, it's just us two - my husband Faron and myself. Faron grew up in Bandon, Oregon and I grew up here in Phoenix. Faron work as a patient transporter for Phoenix Children's Hospital and I am an elementary school teacher for the Washington school district. I attended the University of Arizona and majored in Special Education with a minor in Psychology. Faron will begin his education through the BYU-Idaho Pathway program in the fall. We don't have children.
2. If you had an hour of free time, what might we find you doing?
I like to watch movies, visit the library (read), visit friends/family, play board games, go for walks, shop, play sports, visit the Phoenix Temple, find a deal, travel.
3. Share an experience that strengthened your testimony or why the gospel is important to you.
I am always strengthened when I watch conference. Listening to the prophet and church leaders feed my spirit. Faron and I like to share what talks had an impact on us. This allows us to look inwardly to what we need to do to change or what we've been doing that has changed for the better. The gospel means everything to me. I am grateful for the gospel everyday. It gives me a reason to hope for a better today and tomorrow.
