In this episode, Jordan and Zack interview Mason. Mason was born in Germany, but returned as a missionary after living in the U.S. since he was 5. Mason talks about serving in the same country as his father, learning the German language and culture, and how to overcome difficulties with companions. Mason shares how he learned to see the Lord's hand in the work, and an experience where he felt the Lord's love.
