  • 23. Koy Harris: Barcelona Spain Mission 🇪🇸
    Koy served in the Barcelona Spain Mission from 2015-2017. He shares how his mission taught him to work hard and talks about how the most rewarding and the hardest part of his mission was getting out into the streets everyday with no plans just trying to talk to everyone. His advice for anyone thinking of serving a mission is to JUST DO IT. You will be blessed in ways you can’t imagine and grow and learn things that only the mission can teach you.

    Judd Barber served in the Uganda Kampala Mission which consisted of Uganda, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. He witnessed some amazing miracles with the growth of the church in an area that had a reputation of being "dead".

  • 19. Ashley Berges: Tacoma Washington Mission- Spanish speaking 🇺🇸
    Ashley served in the Tacoma Washington mission and recently returned about 6 weeks ago! A family that she taught and brought to baptism also recently moved close by so she has been able to see them a lot and shared their special story. Her advice is to speak up for yourself and to be patient and expect to make mistakes in the language and in teaching. She still has that cute missionary spirit and fire and was so fun to talk to!

  • 17. Jordan Ziegner: Las Vegas Nevada Mission 🇺🇸
    Jordan Ziegner served in the Las Vegas Nevada Mission from 2019-2021. She served during the COVID Pandemic and shares her experiences adjusting to quarantine and using social media in missionary work.

  • 16. Khira Diutsman: Billings Montana Mission 🇺🇸
    Khira served in the Billings Montana Mission and shares some of her experiences including witnessing a cow give birth and running into the BYU Men's Hockey Team. She also shares some of her difficult experiences with companions and struggling with body image and self worth, which I think we all can relate to! A big piece of advice from Khira is to understand that what you are doing is worth while. It may not feel like anyone is listening or like you are not making a difference but you will learn that those seeds you plant along the way will bear the sweetest fruits! Another amazing piece of advice is to serve a mission because you love the Lord. You serve because you love the Lord. You work hard and give it your all because you love the Lord. Once you really come to know him and understand the atonement and everything he has done for us, you will want to work hard and to teach and share that knowledge.

  • 15. Brooke Swanson: Korea Seoul South Mission 🇰🇷

    Brooke Swanson served in the Korea Seoul South Mission where she ended up meeting her future husband. They reconnected after the mission and now that is something very special that they share! Brooke shares about her experiences in Korea- her miracles, fun experiences, and difficult experiences. We talk about baptism and agency and how agency is central to God's plan, even though it can be hard to see people you love choose a different path. She also shares some great advice about being yourself as a missionary. Bring your best pre-mission self with you on the mission and when you return home, bring pieces of your missionary self back home with you! Brooke is amazing and it was so fun talking to her about her mission! I know you will enjoy listening as much as I did!
