Mental Health

Buckle up for this one. We invite our good friend and fellow service missionary, Elder Albert, on the show to talk about his story of how he came to serve a mission. We talk about how mental health is a very real and impactful challenge in anyone's life, and the different ways we seek to find peace. We invite anyone to share their stories if they ever need someone to talk to. If you're listening to this, it means that you're seen, and you matter.

In this episode, we were feeling a little blue. So we share very openly about why we continue serving even when it's difficult, why God asks us to do hard things, and what we do with the impressions we get. We invite anyone out there to comment on our Facebook page about experiences you've had with serving others and why you continue to do so.

Understanding the difference between expecting perfection and the reality that oftentimes the ideal must be adjusted to fit your current circumstances. Viewing failure as part of the plan and not something to be discouraged by. Discussing how taking time to learn from set backs will open new opportunities for discovery. 

This time, we're diving into Macy's experience serving her mission and developing her faith in Jesus Christ. She shares what it was like growing up in the Church and the process of making the decision to become a missionary. Her experience choosing to leave the proselyting field and transferring to a service mission is also shared in this episode. We hope that sharing our stories on this podcast can resonate with any individual, whether they are a member of the church looking into serving a mission, someone of a different faith who is seeking how to strengthen their relationship with the Lord, or a person of no religious background who desires to understand how they can endure and overcome life's challenges.

This week, we are diving into more of Julia's story and experience as a representative of Jesus Christ. She shares the moments leading up to turning in her papers, her time serving in Utah, and making the decision to continue her assignment from home.

Introducing ourselves, our stories, mission experiences, and faith in an open conversation to start off the first episode. Welcome to the pod!
