Angela Packard is a young single adult living in the San Pedro Ward of the San Antonio Texas North Stake. She is an aunt, ministering sister and community volunteer. She also lives with various disabilities, including cerebral palsy, an intellectual disability and the autoimmune disorder myasthenia gravis.
Packard said she recognizes that her efforts to serve in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and her community look different from other people’s, but that has never dampened her enthusiasm.
“It’s a gift from Heavenly Father that He’s given me,” she said of her love of service.
The Church has been a place for Packard to utilize that gift as she served in the stake Relief Society presidency and now as a Primary substitute teacher. She has also been assigned to be a buddy during Primary for a child with ADHD and autism.
