Today we get to know Shannon S. Shannon and her family moved into the ward in May 2022. She and Jeremy have been married for 8 years and have 3 children. Roya is 4, Allison is 3 and Garrett is almost 1 year old. Shannon is a Doctor of Physical Therapy. She also has a background in teaching yoga and meditation. Her interests include writing, public speaking, singing, health and life sciences, nutrition, exercise and fitness and entrepreneurial endeavors. She currently serves as a ministering secretary in Relief Society.
I have really enjoyed getting to know Shannon since she moved into the ward. She was just a few months away from delivering their third child when they arrived and I got the opportunity to throw her a baby shower while really not even knowing her! I loved getting to learn her personality during that process and I was so humbled by her gratitude for that shower. Shannon and her husband have welcomed my family into her home several times and one time after we arrived and told them about a traumatic fall my husband had that day, Shannon immediately offered to do some physical therapy exercises with him. I know she saved him from what would have been a tremendous amount of pain the next day. So she is generous with her skills and knowledge and I am so grateful for her friendship!
I hope you enjoy this interview conducted by Nikki Steers, where Shannon shares how her faith developed as she grew up in a low-income neighborhood, observed the examples of others, served a mission, and learned to trust in God’s timing.
