Read a story last week in the Deseret News about Shanthi and had lots of questions. This article filled them in. Thank you. It was so inspiring to read about this wonderful woman.

beautiful story, thanks for sharing. Also as my dad is from India and I have a sister with the same name- though w/o the last h- (ie my sis spells her name Shanti though she goes by a nickname). Anyway, you might find it interesting that Shanti in Hindi means "peace" as I understand!

So good to see Shanthi all grown up! I lived in her ward in Montana and my husband taught in the nursery when she was there and was amazed by what she could do and loved her attitude - I can do it!. What an independent young lady she was from the very beginning. They did have to take her artificial arms, that she didn't like anyway, away at the beginning of class as they became more of a weapon than help. She did everything amazingly well with just her feet. Beautiful inside and out!!!
Great to hear examples of people recognizing and acting on promptings and revelation--truly an essential skill to develop in ourselves and to teach our children, as Julie Beck pointed out.
