Marcia was born in sunny Sonora, Mexico where she graduated as a PE teacher before coming to the U.S. in 2006. She and her family live in Riverton, Utah. She is a proud mom of three amazing children (ages 14, 12, and 8) who keep life busy, fun and a little chaotic. Marcia came to the States as a student of BYU’s English Learning Center where she learned English and met her husband through some friends while salsa dancing. They have been married for 16 years. One of the main reasons she wanted to learn English was to understand the words of the prophets and apostles directly, so she could feel a deeper connection to them and a greater desire to follow their counsel. The journey to this goal has greatly blessed her life.
She never says no to a good Zumba class (bonus points if the music’s loud and the energy’s high) and she’s always down for going shopping at her favorite stores HomeGoods, TJMaxx and Nordstrom rack.
She is also a co-founder and the host of Tiempo Para Nosotras, an inspiring event for Hispanic women in Utah that helps them strengthen their relationship with God, themselves and others around them. You can learn more at www.tiempoparanosotras.com
Above all, she loves her Savior, Jesus Christ, and strives each day to grow a little closer to Him. One thing that’s helped her on that pursuit is the Sunday on Monday podcast, which has become a meaningful part of her morning routine.
