0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Not Somali Mormon podcast minisodes. This is Katie. Thank you for being here.
0:09.1	Our letter today comes from someone that's still inside the church. And that is not something we usually get, especially in a friendly way.
0:20.5	We get letters and comments and messages often from members of the
0:25.2	church, but they're never trying to have a conversation with us or tell us their stories. They're
0:30.6	just attacking us usually. So this is really refreshing.
0:49.2	She writes, I am a 22-year-old active member and fellow Georgia Peach, living on my own, a state away from my family and attending my local YSA branch.

1:58.9	anyone what to feel or how to believe I guess my best
2:03.6	advice would be to do your own research and do your own reading and then reflect on what your
2:11.5	values are and what you want to be spending your time and your energy on and your money, you know,
2:20.2	quite frankly, if you're paying, tithing, what you want to be supporting and if you feel good
2:26.6	about supporting an organization like the church. I guess that's where I would suggest you start.
