Thank you. organization unless otherwise stated. Hello, friends, and welcome to episode number 94 of the Latter Day Lives podcast, and we are back.

We're back from vacation, and it feels like it's been a long time. It's only been three weeks

since we've had an episode, but I feel like I need to start off this episode with an apology.

The plan was to go on this break, this vacation, but we were actually going to do it one week

later. And then I had a guest

who fell through. And so we just decided to start it a little bit earlier. But I never recorded

anything telling everybody that we were going on break three weeks. Instead, I just did it on

social media. We did a Facebook post and an Instagram post.

And then I had planned to record a quick something, just letting everybody know.

And I didn't.

And I forgot about it, to be honest.

I kind of thought, well, I did it because I was remembering back to our social media.

But after a week or two that we were off, I started getting some messages

of people concerned, and hey, is everything okay? Are you guys doing all right? And I responded to them

and let them know, but I am very sorry. So sorry, I did not tell everybody. We were just on a quick three-week vacation.

We're going to start doing this. We did it in December. I think we're going to do it every Christmas and every summer just to take a break.

And I will just tell you, if I didn't feel loved before, the outpouring of love that I have gotten while we've been on break, it's just been wonderful.

People have reached out saying they've missed the show and how excited they are for it to come back.
