Hello, everyone. It's Just Marie today. Busy week in the background here at My Book of Mormon,

and conflicting schedules meant that Bryce and I couldn't record this week. We will return to 1843 next week,

don't you worry? Joseph Smith's death approaches, and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Still,

I don't want to leave you, Sands podcast, so you're about to hear what was originally

a patron-only bonus episode from July 2017.

This was the first of what ended up being six visits that I had with sister missionaries

from my local ward.

Now, if you rewind your brain to one year ago, Bryce and I had just read Revelation 88,

and Bryce had been out of town on vacation for two weeks. This was right before I learned about the word of wisdom. Like, I had never

heard of the Hans Mill massacre. I didn't know that Navu was a thing, the Mormon War of 1838.

Nope. Not a single clue. Oh, how young and innocent I was, or so I thought until I met

sister missionaries who showed up at my house. The entire series is available for all supporters

of the show. Go to patreon.com slash my Book of Mormon podcast to become a patron. For our current patrons, don't you worry, there's still a bonus episode this week.

I have a story to tell you about when I was getting a tattoo on Friday and how that turned

into an incredibly Mormon-heavy weekend for me.

Not expected.

And Jake, if you're listening, you made my weekend unexpectedly excellent, and I look forward to beating you at cribbage next time.

Are you wondering who Jake is?

Come on, you know you want to know.

All right, listeners, sit down, grab yourself a beverage,

and drink whenever you feel like it,
