Pamela Womack-Canon - Choctaw Jan 02, 2024

Show notes

I think I'm going to tell the missionaries I'm no longer interested.... Well, that's didn't happen. The Holy Ghost told Sister Pam to go to church with those young missionary sisters. I'm glad she did go to church with them. Pam's spirit is so sweet and beautiful. I love at the end when she talks about what she feels as a member of the Tribe of Israel: that she's a daughter of God, that it helps her know that she can be with those she loves who have left this earth life, and that she gets to go Home one day and have all her questions answered. Maybe you have questions too. That's okay! Pam has learned that it's okay to have questions but to press forward with faith, trusting that Heavenly Father, our Savior, and the Holy Ghost are always there for her. I could just hug her!

Ann Marie Sherman - Navajo & Zuni Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

This conversation was fun for me because Ann Marie asked me a question. And then we talked about it a bunch. What was the question? She asked me about how I hear the Holy Ghost. She has heard the Holy Ghost at three pivotal times in her life and has been grateful she followed those promptings. We talked about how other people have listened to promptings of the Holy Ghost and those promptings have affected her as well. Being willing vessels to do the work we're called to do is a true blessing. I think words of wisdom from General Conference have truly improved and blessed her life. She talks about a couple specific things, but I can tell it's more than she mentions. I'm so grateful for Ann Marie.

Deborah Blackburn - Mississippi Choctaw & Cherokee Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

It was super fun to get to interview someone I only slightly knew before. Debbie Blackburn has spent most of her married life in the same little town I grew up in. She was a fixture of my youth because I always saw her driving a school bus. But learning about her history and about her struggles and blessings has given me a whole new appreciation for this woman. She talks about her conversion story--about the kind neighbors who shared not only sugar but the Gospel of Jesus Christ with her. They taught her and answered her questions using the Holy Bible. I don't know the couple that helped her learn, but I think they are the kind of people I want to be. They have impacted her life for generations to come. And Debbie finds strength in her family heritage of strong and resilient people. This was an excellent conversation.

Levi Esquerra - Chemehuevi Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

He's a gem. I found a gem! Levi Esquerra has been polished and now shines. He attributes a lot of his success to his mother, to other good people in his life, and of course to the Savior. He's been able to get a great education and then use that to benefit others. He served, for a season, his tribe as tribal chairman. Now he serves in a public university shining light on other peoples. He has learned how to incorporate Gospel principles and practices into his career and relationships. His ability to listen to people has become one of his greatest assets. And, I definitely think, his general demeanor has opened doors for him, for his university and career, and for missionary experiences.

Levi Heperi - Mohawk Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

This conversation was so fun! We laughed much. Mostly at ourselves. We talked about how we are each needed in God's plan. Remember in the New Testament how we're each a different part of the body? Yes. We are also all important spokes in a wheel moving toward God's kingdom. Levi Heperi talks about how even as he has moved forward in life without knowing a specific goal, as he has put his trust in the Lord and moved, he has been blessed with opportunities. Now he's taking those opportunities to try and bless the lives of God's children. It was delightful to talk about how he is fulfilling his calling in less-than-orthodox ways. Maybe "orthodox" is really akin to "Law of Moses" level. So many things to chew on with our conversation. I think you're going to find something to grin about.

Austin Lynn - Cherokee Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

So many of us have learning curves--not just speaking about formal education. We have learning curves where we learn to treat people better, where we learn to value things better, and where we understand life better. Austin Lynn is going through learning curves some of us will go through differently. He's learning about his past. He's learning about the people who move in and out of his ward. He's learning about family and priorities. As he studies to become a therapist, he also sees the value of these life lessons as he one day will help others come to conclusions about things they are learning. It's a blessing. He's also learning about what is important to share with future generations. May we all come a little closer as we learn our own life lessons.

Lottie Orcutt - Navajo Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

The testimony Lottie Orcutt shares about responsibility and trust is amazing. She really knows that Jesus Christ, through His Atonement in our behalf, is The Answer. The answer to what? Like, pretty much everything. The attacks on the family. The relationships are confusing. The health challenges we face. The questions people have about the Gospel. Pretty much everything can be summed up or modeled by Jesus Christ if we have trust in Him and in His Plan. Lottie has learned this. Lottie has also learned that Heavenly Father sends her messages and messengers in dream. It's a gift of the Spirit. That gift has prepared her and has carried her and has calmed her. The testimony is strong with this one!

Ty Yellowman - Navajo Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

Ty Yellowman is at a turning point in his life. He's about ready to graduate from college. But he has already had enough experiences that he recognizes how blessed he is. He has wonderful people in his life, including his parents, institute leaders, and church leaders. He served a mission where he learned time management skills as well as spiritual skills. He has seen how scriptures can be likened to him. And he has witnessed the priesthood in action. He knows that as he moves forward, if he trusts in our Father in Heaven, he can be led and have prayers answered. This is faith--using what you know and hope for, and then going and doing.
