Hi, I'm Stacy

I'm a mother of 4 girls. I am a Healthy Living & Weight Loss Coordinator & live in the Midwest. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a mother to four girls and have been married 20 years. I enjoy teaching fitness and healthy living classes in my community.

Why I am a Mormon

I was raised by wonderful parents who taught me the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I took full advantage of the church sponsored youth programs available and attending Sunday services with my family each week. I gained a testimony of my own through personal scripture study and striving to live the Gospel principles. Now that I am raising a family of my own I cannot imagine doing it without the principles and teachings of the Church.

Personal Stories

What has helped develop greater harmony in your home?

Family Home Evening FHE as directed by the Church teaches we should set aside one night each week to spend time as a family learning the Gospel, reading scriptures, singing hymns and playing games. We enjoy this time together as we strive to feel the Spirit while strengthening our testimonies and family ties.

How I live my faith

I am grateful for the growth opportunities the church provides. I enjoy teaching and training the men and women who teach the children of the Church, ages 3-11. I have many fond memories as a child attending church each Sunday, learning to choose the right and love the Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope to help instill this same fondness in those I have stewardship over. It is a blessing in my life.

What are Mormon Temples used for?

Mormon Temples are the only place on earth where families are organized for eternity. Families are Forever.

Temples are used to perform sacred ordinances necessary for salvation. One of these is a temple marriage--making it possible to be together as a family for eternity. Since these ordinances are sacred, only members who are striving to live the gospel may enter. All members are strongly encouraged to become and/or stay worthy to enter the temple. Members also go to the temple to seek guidance, comfort, and personal revelation from God.

Why don’t Mormons drink coffee, tea, or alcohol? What is the Mormon Church’s law of health and proper diet?

Molly answered...

God gave us the ability to choose. There are substances in coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco and other harmful drugs that limit our ability to choose. The intent of the law of health we follow is to preserve our ability to make good choices. This law of health is called the “Word of Wisdom”. It not only guides us regarding the substances to avoid, but also those to include in our diet. We are told to eat fruits and vegetables in their season, include grains, and eat meat sparingly. We are promised that if we follow these guidelines we will be healthy, able to learn and accomplish all that is required of us by our various roles in life. I am grateful for the blessings I receive from following the Word of Wisdom.

As a Dietitian I especially love this law of health because as I’ve seen the US guidelines for nutrition develop they are now aligning with what the Lord told us many years before. I believe that the guidelines set forth in our law of health are the minimum requirements for good health. It may be necessary for some people to avoid certain foods or eat a lower fat diet, or avoid caffeine entirely, but these specifics are not mentioned in the law of health and are to be determined by each individual.
