Hello, friends, and welcome to episode number 57 of the Letterday Lives podcast. My name is Sean Rupier. I am your host and what an amazing show this week. One of the great, great

blessings of this show is that we get to meet lots of new people. I just love it.

I've gotten to meet so many new friends through them being guests on the show. And, you know,

some of them we meet. We have a good interview. It's great. If I ever see them again,

fantastic. Others, though, I have really connected with and just created a bond. And some of

our past guests who I only met through the show, I now consider dear friends. And this

week, my guest is Gainalind Kondi. And Gainalyn, I had never met before in my life. We had a lot

of mutual friends. We ended up connecting. She came over to the

studio and I had no idea what to expect. I honestly knew very little about her. I knew she was an

author and a speaker, but I didn't know much more. And the more we talked, the more I heard her

story, the more I just adore Gaina Lynn Condi. Took me a little bit to get her name. In fact,

when she walked in, first thing I said was, now is it pronounced Janelle? And she said, no,

it's Gainel, and Gainel. And I think, in fact, partway through the interview, I call her Gannel

or something like that, but I've got it down now. Gaina Lynn Condi has become just a friend instantly,

but I get the feeling I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I get the feeling she's one of

those amazing spirits who everyone who meets her just loves her and you are going to love

hearing her story. So inspiring. And this week in my latter day life, I'm going to tell you

why I choose to follow the prophet, whether or not I'm a Mormon. So that is all coming up for you.
