Lead thou me on the night is dark and I am far from home.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Mormon Stories podcast. I'm your host John DeLin.

We are currently in part two of my interview with Daniel Miller.

In part one, Daniel talked about his experience growing up in the church in Rigby Idaho, serving his mission in Tokyo, Japan, and then coming home and marrying his wife, Annemarie, his other name.

And in experience that he had sort of thinking that he had received revelation about a child being born and then having that child, having that revelation turned out a little different than he thought.

It's a great episode and I'm really glad we did it. Talks a lot about kind of what it's like to grow up in the church in Rigby Idaho.

Was it the 80s that you were growing up? Is that right? Yeah, in the 80s and super interesting.

So we are now going to turn to Daniel's time working for LVS Church headquarters.

As I mentioned in the previous episode, Daniel worked for two years as a program manager in the publishing services department where he oversaw all media production for Seminary Institute.

The CES port, including the CES portfolio and broadcasts.

And so we're going to be skipping a lot of stuff, Daniel, in your life. But why don't we just talk about how you came to work for the church and we'll talk about what it was like for you?

Yeah, so I remember at my previous job, prior to going to work for the church that there was one of my co-workers that I kept talking to.

And I was experiencing some severe burnout been there for seven years and just wasn't having much job satisfaction and kept going into this co-workers office and telling him,

you know, I just feel like there's something else I'm supposed to be doing. I don't know what it is. What was your general career?

So I worked in the mortgage industry for a company in Idaho.

So how many years have you worked sort of, how many years have you been in the workforce by that time?
