Sister Spotlight: Eva Jean Call

Eva Jean Call was born in Rigby, Idaho and lived in California (Bay Area) for 30 years; mostly in Danville, Walnut Creek, and Concord before moving to Meridian, Idaho for 2 years, then in Tualatin, Oregon for 10 years. Eva Jean then went on 2 missions, the first was to Seoul, West Korea and the second was to Nashville, Tennessee. After her 2 missions she finally settled here in Orem.

Eva Jean and her husband have 6 children, their spouses, 16 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. She teaches piano 3 days a week in Alpine and Grandview. She says that she is on a Seafood diet....she sees food and eats it. She likes most foods except some kinds of fish. Her favorite vacations have been going to the Holy Land (twice), Europe, Mexico, and Canada and she says that US is still the best. Eva Jean enjoys reading and has too many favorite books to chose from and is currently reading Gerald Lund's new book "The Undaunted" (for the RS Book Club which she does a fabulous job of putting together each month). She also enjoys playing the piano and organ, cooking (collecting recipes), and her grandchildren.

Her favorite scripture is Alma 7:23-24...."And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive. And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works. Eva Jean is a people person and enjoys visiting with people of all ages so if you get a chance go talk with her.
