In this episode of the Can You Feel So Now podcast, host Justin Barton sits down with Hailey Bollar to discuss her experiences as a recently returned missionary. Hailey, originally from Utah, shares insights about her love for sports, her close-knit family, and how being an aunt has influenced her mission work. She recounts her service in the Texas Houston South Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emphasizing the growth and connections she made there. Hailey delves into her spiritual journey, highlighting key moments such as reading the Book of Mormon fully for the first time and learning to see others, and herself, through Christ's eyes. The episode also explores the challenges and rewards of missionary work, staying true to one's faith after returning home, and the enduring value of diligent service. Justin and Hailey's heartfelt conversation provides inspiration and encouragement for current and future missionaries, as well as for those striving to maintain their spiritual vigor in everyday life.
