Hello and welcome to the Latter-day Saint Women podcast, where we share the legacy of women of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

You'll get to know the faithful women who shaped our past and hear from inspiring women of faith today.

I'm Shailen Back.

And I'm Carly Geiman.

We are your co-os.

And today we're excited to welcome

Anish DeVila to the studio as our guest. Anish, welcome. Hi. Welcome. Thank you. We're so excited to

have you. While on the podcast we most often talk with senior church leaders or women with

maybe decades of church service and experience, we've been asked by listeners

to share more young adult perspectives. So we're excited to do that today with our guest, Anish.

As a brief introduction, Anish was born and raised a member of the church in Cancun, Mexico,

and today she lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. She's a recent graduate of Ensign College,

where she studied social

media marketing. Anish works as a digital marketer at Boncom, which is an advertising agency

that supports the church's missionary department, so she gets to work on some really fun projects

with them. Anish also serves as the Relief Society president in a Spanish-speaking young,

single adult ward in Salt Lake City.

You bring so many great perspectives, and we're excited to also talk with you about your experience

serving a mission, returning home from a mission, working through personal challenges and issues

of faith, and what it's like to participate in the church today as a young adult.

So Anish, thank you so much for being here.

Thank you so much for inviting me and having me.
