Introduction of the Instructor
Sister Zhang Yi-ning was baptized at the beginning of 2014 and currently serves as the Relief Society President of her ward. When her youngest son was born, he had some health issues, but through priesthood blessings and medical care, his condition gradually improved.
She was born in Taichung and is now a mother of two children. Before becoming a mother, she worked in various jobs. She once thought her post-marriage life would simply revolve around caring for her husband and children, but her life began to change gradually through her experiences in the Church.
Originally, she attended the Tucheng Ward of the West Taipei Stake, but later moved to Changhua due to her husband’s work. In the Church, she learned handicrafts and began to learn baking, which sparked her curiosity and passion for handmade arts, beginning her journey of learning.
At present, she serves as a handicraft and baking instructor for government agencies and farmers’ associations, and also works as a substitute teacher at an elementary school. Her life is fulfilling and rich, and she is grateful for Heavenly Father’s blessings.
