Sister Nancy Schmidt will be teaching a class on Women's Health entitled "ONE With Our
Bodies". "I live in Logan, Utah but am thrilled to be serving full-time as the Mission Health Advisor for the California Arcadia Mission. My husband and I are members of the Temple City Ward. I'm a mother of 6, grandmother of 21. I'm a nurse by profession but not an expert on health. I do enjoy a healthy lifestyle with family and friends as I hike, run, and bike in the beautiful outdoors. Fifteen years ago I, with a neighbor, started a hiking group. I needed friendship (her). She needed someone who knew where to go (me). I planned the first hike and three showed up. Since then our group has grown and grown. The largest group we have had on a hike is 30 but we average 10-15 each week. I have learned a lot from these women. As we hike, our fitness improves. As we talk as we hike our spirits and our souls are fed and inspired. Several have said the hiking saved their marriage, their sanity and/or thousands in therapy. We have all experienced joy as we strengthen our bodies and nourish our souls. I have learned that as I care for my body as well as my spirit I can find joy in this blessed mortal life.
