0:00.0	I'm Hello, friends, and welcome to episode 125 of the Letterday Lives podcast.
0:32.7	I'm your host, Sean Rupier.
0:34.2	Thank you so much for tuning in again this week. A couple things before we get into the
0:39.7	episode. First of all, you may remember a previous guest, Ben Taylor. He is such an amazing guy. We've
0:46.3	been friends for a long time. He runs the YouTube channel Pleasant Green. And part of his
0:53.0	YouTube channel is finding scammers and trying to shut them down,
0:57.1	but he had that incredible story about meeting a guy who really did need help and how he helped
1:02.1	him. Well, Ben is at it again. He met a woman named Chica Ortery who had reached out for help.
1:09.8	She's in Cameroon, and she is in desperate need of

1:38.1	always, we love to thank our reviewers. This week, we had one new five-star review on Apple Podcasts

1:54.2	soul and actually just an overall great family. We grew up together in San Jose, and she left
2:00.0	such a kind review. I certainly appreciate it.
2:03.4	This week, we've got something kind of, kind of different and kind of neat. This is actually
2:07.6	a crossover episode that we are doing with Latter-day Saint Mission cast. My good friend,
2:14.5	Nicoletti, came over, and we recorded with Kristen separately.
2:21.0	And Nick did more of an interview about the missionary side of things, as Latter-day Saint Mission
2:27.5	Cast does, whereas I tried to dive a little more into Kristen's story as we do.
