Jessie and Isaac answer listener questions, from digging into scripture to how culture is different in the UK from the US. If there's anything we talked about or addressed that you'd like to chat more about, please reach out to us. We're answering from our own experiences and are far from experts so we're always open to further conversation.

Simon joins Jessie and Isaac on the podcast to chat a bit about his background and how he came to Hope Church Rhondda and took on the role of elder. He also shares what the preparation to take on interns looked like. There's some chat about food (duh), weird Americans, and Alan Jackson? We loved having Simon on and helping to fulfill his childhood dream of being a podcast guest.

Disclaimer: due to some technical difficulties in recording, the audio quality is less than stellar. Jessie's cat George also makes an appearance on this episode by meowing in the background...quite loudly at times. BUT, it's such a rich episode we hope you'll bear with us!

Jessie and Isaac chat about leaving home, flying over the Atlantic, and what the first few days and weeks were like in Wales. They discuss what went well and what could be improved upon in the future. And then of course there's some food chat, some lessons learned, and some laughs.

Jessie and Isaac chat about all the details that made their move to Wales possible. Visas and budgeting and storage, oh my! If you've ever wondered how missions are possible when you don't have a salary or how to make a trans-Atlantic move, we've got you covered!

As always, if you have any questions we're happy to chat with you further.

We chat about how we feel God personally called each of us to long term mission in Wales, and spoiler alert! Isaac and Jessie have very different experiences. If you've ever wondered about how to discern whether a call is from God or not, we think you'll really enjoy this episode.

We'd love to hear from you!
