You've seen missionaries with their white shirts and nametags, but what is serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints really like? Do you get to pick where you go? How do you know which language to learn? Are the rules the same all over the world? Jon and Steph talk about the process of preparing, applying, being called, going out to, and eventually returning home from a full-time mission. In this follow-up episode to #13 (Missionaries, Part 1) we get into more detail about the process from start to finish, share our own experiences with friends and family serving missions, and hopefully answer some of your biggest questions along the way!

Sometimes we have conversations which don't make it to the final cut. This is one of those times! It was just a little too much for the end-bloopers or to work in anywhere else, so this week you get a BONUS episode! Mostly us talking about Baby #3 (arriving in April), making weird noises, and laughing hysterically. Enjoy this six-minutes or so of just hearing our voices and see what a "normal" conversation between Steph and Jon is like. ;)

You always see those guys on the bikes with the white shirts and name-tags--why are there so many of them and what are they doing anyway?? Today we talk about our experiences growing up around missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and also share our own connection to missions! (Which one of us served a full-time mission? Jon, or Steph, or both??)

Families, and holidays, and traditions, OH MY!

What is it like growing up in a Latter-day Saint family around the holiday season? And how do those traditions blend when you get married? This week's special guests from Arizona, Beth Alston McDonald and Derek McDonald share their experiences with Jon on traditions both growing up and creating new ones together as adults. It might sound a lot like YOUR family, except does being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints make it any different?? Listen to episode 8 and find out!

It's Thanksgiving this week! And what better way to celebrate people coming together and eating until our buttons pop, than to talk about Latter-day Saints and families. This is one of the major differences between members of the Church and the rest of world: our unique view on families. But for today, we talk about the funny parts.

Start with part one now, and get ready for a crazy ride as we discuss our families and visiting cousins and crazy relatives and avoiding fights, all leading into this holiday season!

This episode we deep-dive into our last week (as Latter-day Saints). From devastating natural disasters to death to struggling friends to kids to more long conferences at church, we cover it all and more.
