Tresta Neil was raised under the New Mexican sunsets and loves Mexican and Navajo food. She learned about the miracle of the body in nursing school at Weber State and about putting Christ first on her mission to the Netherlands. She learned about spiritual power (Christ’s and ourselves) while pursuing her degree in religion from UVU Institute. She learned patience while sitting in the hospital with you live transplant baby for two years. She is learning true joy while homeschooling her eight children. After living in four different states she calls Utah her home. She remains hungry for knowledge about symbols, rituals and patterns within the scriptures and the ancient Hebrew and Persian cultures. She is the author of “God Saw That It Was Good”, “The Theology Tree” and co-directs the LDS Homeschool Conference with her husband, Thom. Her passion is teaching and writing. If she had to choose only one subject to study she would study the stars. If you ask her about her most embarrassing moment she will tell you a story about sitting on a cactus. 🙂
