Dear Future Sister
Dear future sister,
Are you preparing to serve a mission? Deciding if you should? Or adjusting back to home life? I'm Darby Lee, a returned missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I'm here to keep it real about all the highs, lows, and lessons of mission life. When I was preparing to serve my mission, I wished I had an older sister to offer guidance, advice, and remind me I wasn't alone. That's what this podcast is all about; So whether you're walking to class, getting ready in the morning, or just need a little company -- I've got you! Let's talk!
