Welcome, Sister Janet Benavidez

Janet Benavidez lived in several places before settling in Bloomington.  She began life in Ely but grew up in Henderson, NV.  She attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho and BYU in … well, you know … where she graduated with a degree in Business Education!  She then lived and worked in California, Arizona and Saudi Arabia.  She was "Sister" for the four years she taught seminary and again while serving as a senior missionary in the Mexico City Temple (2009-2011) – and hopes “to do a couple more missions before I die!” 

Following a serious accident involving a semi-truck, Janet settled in Toquerville where she lived for eight years before moving to Bloomington to be closer to family, her job at The Learning Center for Families (TLC) and the temple where she can be found in the Spanish-speaking session every Thursday night.  In the B7 Ward, she has recently been called to serve as a Sunday School teacher to the 17-year-olds, where her bubbly personality and her love of teens and the gospel of Jesus Christ is certain to make her a favorite among the young members of the B7 Ward.

Sister Benavidez has five children – a daughter, two sons (and twins who lived only ½ hour after their birth), and three grands.

Welcome to the B7 Ward!  We are so pleased your well-traveled road has brought you to Bloomington.
