Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Mormon Stories podcast. I'm your host John Delin. It is February 23rd

2022 and we are back for part two. I'm using my hands today of our interview with Lizzie and

Spencer Bean. Hey guys. Hi. Welcome back. Thanks for having us again. It's been like a hot minute. I know it's been

a while. And the weather has gotten weird in the meantime. Weird. It's like an apocalypse. Yesterday was like super cold. Yeah. It's like this is

a Utah winter. I see snow blown everywhere everywhere. I was not going to know what to do with themselves when they had to go outside. It was

not a good thing. No. Yeah. Well, welcome back. Thanks. We really loved part one hearing your story, Lizzie. And I think part two today we're going to just be

moving right on. And now it's time for Spencer story as part two. And then for part three, we're going to talk about your marriage and your faith journey's after marriage. Is that right? Yeah. I think so. Our life together. Yeah. And if this

weren't enough awesomeness, we have with us. Carabarell. Hey guys. Hey. Hey. That's co-host. Hi guys. Hi, Carol. Yeah. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you.

Like your like your snazzy jacket. Carol, you're looking very wintry. You're like Park City fresh. Yeah. Yeah. I was feeling like a Spencer and I were trying to think of a good joke. I kind of look like I was going to rob somebody while like hip hop break dancing on a ski lift. Yeah.

On the wall at once. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So right in the ski lift, smock a laugh. Yeah. She's funky. Funky fresh. Do you even know who Gratual Marx is because you do Gratual Marx impressions that I imagine. I do. Like did you ever watch Gratual Marx?

I'm like enough to know. Yeah. That's not that's not that. Because like the diversity you and me is actually watch. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And you just make the sounds. We could probably have no idea who you're in the team. Yeah. I mean, I know the reference, but I'm not a fan. But you know, like I didn't grow up on him. I think so.

Right. Well, for those who didn't join us for part one, Lizzie told us this amazing story of joining while of being born into the church with convert parents. But growing up back east in upstate New York, all of her experiences with the Palmyra pageant of being a Mormon of eventually moving to Utah, moving to like Utah County of all places, the culture shock, being of a Eastern sensibilities and moving to Provo and becoming friends with someone.

Fast friends in high school. Yeah. Now you know how to get a Mormon story podcast. You be care Braille's friends. No, I'm kidding. This I've added this. Carol would not bring an interview to me if it wasn't a quality individual. These are quality individuals. This has my pre endorsement. No patronage here. Anyway, we talked about your experiences growing up in Provo, the culture shock, your Mormon experiences. And then kind of your pursue of like the electrical arts. Yeah.

And just live in the Mormon dream. Yeah, live in the Mormon dream. Yeah. Love in every second of it. Yeah. And so we kind of left as you met Spencer, but now we have to do like a Wayne's world.

Hamilton reference rewind.

rewind rewind rewind rewind rewind rewind rewind. Now let's take you right back to Spencer story. And I don't care. Keep it. I don't I don't have musical theater references on you. Let's let's literally have as many theater references. We can.

Minute since we didn't have a musical theater reference hero. Always. And Karen doesn't even like musical theater. So she's not even being able to be able to participate. I like doing it more than I like consuming it. So I my references are limited.

We need to work on care. Okay, we'll do it because it's embarrassing. I don't like. I told me she doesn't want to work with a bus who hasn't had certain experiences that she has recently had.

Well, I'm not sure what really weird. I'm not sure if I want to work with an employee that doesn't like musical theater. Is that fair? I mean, honestly, it's a two way street here. That's the equity is.

You need a comment. You need that comment. You know, all right. Well with that, we're rewinding.

Spencer's Mormon story. So Spencer, where does your Mormon story begin? My Mormon story begins in Provo, Utah. What? Yeah, that sounds very Mormon.

It's honestly my story is about as Mormon as I think you could probably be the judge of that. Well, okay, well, yeah, born in born in Utah Valley hospital. Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. I think it may have been at the time.
