In this touching episode of the Can You Feel So Now podcast, host Justin Barton speaks with Tanner Johnson. Tanner shares his experiences growing up in a large family in Queen Creek, Arizona, and how his love for running and swimming shaped his early years. He then delves into his mission experience, initially assigned to the Jamaica, Kingston Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was temporarily reassigned to New York City for the first five months due to visa issues. Tanner recounts the challenges and surprises of street contacting in NYC, followed by the dramatic shift to rural Jamaica, where he served in areas with minimal church presence. Through his journey, Tanner learns valuable lessons about patience, humility, and the unwavering love of God. Discover how Tanner's mission reshaped his introverted nature, bolstered his faith, and prepared him for a life of service and love.
