We desire to open the discussion of how to help those who come home from their missions earlier than they expected. Know that the Lord accepts our offerings and can help you feel seen no matter what you have gone through. We ought to do better to help those in this situation.

Watch the "Sister to Sister" where Becky Craven addressed the topic of missionaries who come home earlier than expected here:

Are my friends funny or what?!

After Toshi served his mission in Las Vegas, Nevada, he couldn't feel the same Spirit that he had as a missionary and wondered if he was doing something wrong. 

A powerful and entertaining episode with Toshi!

Mom, Shane, and I have an impromptu talk about dating.

Shane is 31 years old and I am 27; both basically elderly single people.

Shane Gunnerson served his mission in Denver, Colorado, and went through a major faith crisis while serving.

Mom and I discuss and ask ourselves how different church organizations can be more united. 

How can Young Women and Relief Society connect with each other more often? How can the Relief Society and Elders Quorum work together? These are questions we all can be asking ourselves continually. 

Mom and I talk about one of our favorite films, Inside Out.

Mom and I invite our listeners to consider some of the things we say. We sometimes unintentionally hurt others with our choice of words. Let's be more inclusive and Christlike by paying close attention to what we say.

This includes:

- Avoiding words that may accidentally hurt early-returned missionaries.

- Being sensitive to those who don't have the same blessings that we do.

- Making young single adults feel valued regardless of their relationship status. 

Mom interviews me in this episode so you can all get to know me better!

She's my mom, best friend, and former second counselor of the Relief Society General Presidency! 

On this episode we talk about how the Lord placed her into this calling, what she's learned, and how we have been blessed.

We are so excited to start hosting this podcast together!!
