Today's episode is a little different in the very best way. We're sitting down with Mike and Amy Isom on the morning of their 47th wedding anniversary. Their parents, grandparents, and longtime members of the Chandler area with four grown children. In this conversation, we trace an incredible journey of discipleship through five missions and beyond. A five-year local service mission teaching the strengthening marriage course that ended up transforming their own relationship even more than the couples they taught an 18-month assignment at the New York and Pennsylvania historic sites where the Sacred Grove was literally their backyard as they helped pioneer virtual tours that reached over half a million people in more than 100 countries.

Several seasons serving as the Nauvoo pageant, Remy helps clothe entire cast in pioneer costumes and the Isom subscribe what it feels like to live in a Zion society for six intense weeks each summer. And then a call to to Brazil's Porto Alegre South Mission accepted in faith with almost no Portuguese, but they learned to rely completely upon the Spirit, Google Translate, and the kindness of the saints. And finally, beginning a service mission from home to continue supporting their mission in Brazil remotely. Along the way, Mike and Amy share how they navigated unexpected cancer, sold their home, flew back from Brazil twice for family medical crisis, and kept choosing Christ while also choosing their children. They talk about seeing the veil thin in the sacred grove in Nauvoo , learning to follow quiet spiritual nudges, and discovering just how deeply the Savior loves His children in every circumstance. If you've ever wondered whether senior missions are worth it, how to prepare for one, or what it really looks like to put your life in the Lord's hands, this episode will give you stories, practical perspective, and a powerful witness of the Savior. Stay with us. By the end of this interview, you might find yourself checking mission opportunities, looking up the Nauvoo Pageant application dates, or at least asking...

What more could I do to serve?
