When I Was on My Mission

After being separated for 50+ years, my dad found a long lost relative in Denmark. He and my Grandpa tell the generational story.

Have you heard of Skinwalkers before? All the LDS missionaries who serve on the Navajo reservation have. Glen was one of the unlucky ones to have seen two of them. He is sure they are real and is also sure that God is stronger.

This is the episode everyone has been waiting for - missionary poo stories! Many, if not all missionaries have found themselves in a terribly awkward position when they absolutely had to go to the bathroom, but something went wrong. Some missionaries made it, some did not - these are stories of those missionaries who did not. Thanks to our guests Judd Tolman, Eric Bowen, and Sylvia Bowen for sharing.

Missionaries and drug dealers don’t have a lot in common - but sometimes they are neighbors. Living next to a trap house was new for Devin, and so was getting caught in the crossfire. Bryan shares an experience with some gangster friends in NC as well.

Rondo has built AMAZING momentum in Nuremburg, but just as his work begins to pay off, he is called to Stuttgart. This is part two of Rondo Fehlberg's mission story and you have got to hear how the rest of his story goes.

If you had the choice, would you join the Olympic team or would you serve a mission? Rondo was faced with that decision, and his experience was truly one for the books.

After two long years of dedicated missionary service, Robbie found himself without any pants to wear while flying home from Spain to Salt Lake City, Utah. The only question to answer - what would he do about it?

Adam could not have been more excited to teach his first lesson on his first day in Brazil as an LDS missionary. Things took a confusing turn when his trainer explained to the investigators that Mormons pray to Joseph Smith, pay 20% tithing, and drink coffee when the situation is right. When he was told he needed to drink some coffee, Adam had an interesting choice to make.

Rule #1 of a mission is - ALWAYS stay with your companion. What happens when they run away and cannot be found? Brayden found out while in Nicaragua.

Missionaries put up with a lot. Drew decided that multiple threats on his life were worth the price of admission to stay in his assigned area in Paraguay. Turns out, 3 was the limit though. Drew also shares how he has continued rewarding missionary work through the last 20 years.
