Relief Society Spotlight...

SPOTLIGHT:

Sharlee Largey

1. How did you and your husband meet? After two years of

college in Arizona, I transferred up to BYU and lived with my

grandparents in Provo. Turns out, Zach's parents also lived

in that ward. He came home from his mission about a year

later and we were in the same singles ward together... Singles

wards: they work! I asked HIM to come shooting with me (I have

a .22) in January, we were engaged two days before I graduated

from BYU in April, and married in June.

How long have you been married? We have been married 9 1/2

years- wow, that seems like a long time!

How many kids do you have? We have Hyrum who is 8, Weston

who is 5 and Afton who is 16 months

2. What is your current calling? I am presently the Young Women's

president and I love playing with the girls!

What has been your favorite calling ever and why? Hmmm,

probably YW advisor because I got to do all the fun stuff without being

in charge. :) But, someday I hope to be the Achievement day leader –

wouldn't that be the best calling? (hint hint...)

3. How do you fill your day?--Do you work? Are you in school? What

are your free time hobbies? A day in the life: I wake up, get the kids

breakfast, get Hyrum off to school, do a little walking, get my jobs done/

house clean, babysit my neice 3 days a week, take Weston to school, do

something fun (if my jobs are done) like read a book, make a crafty

thing, play with Afton, sew, bake or get errands run; pick the boys

up from school, make dinner, go to bed... That's very generic but it

covers most days. :) I also love to be outside, up a mountain, playing

with my extended family or Zach's family, reading stories with my kids

or enjoying one of Zach's fancy dinners.

4. What is your favorite scripture/favorite scripture topic? I had a

hard time picking just one but this is one of them:

Alma 37:46

46 O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness

of the way; for so was it with our fathers; for so was it prepared

for them, that if they would look they might live; even so it is

with us. The way is prepared, and if we will look we may live forever.

I love that it says the way is easy- it's all prepared for us, all we have

to do is follow the way our Father in Heaven planned out for us.

I don't like dwelling on hard things in life... I'd rather enjoy it! Like Pres.

Hinckley said "You can't go through life sucking on a pickle." :)

5. Which principle of the gospel do you have a great testimony about?

How did you gain that testimony? I love the fact that we always

have the Holy Ghost with us (if we are righteous) to help us through

this life. When I was 16 I wasn't so sure if prayers were really answered

or what the Comforter felt like. I said one sentence in prayer and before

I could even finish I had the strongest, warmest feeling wash over me and

I knew the Holy Ghost was real.
