Serena Pemberton is the guest on this week's episode and tells us about her journey to gain a testimony. She explains how moving several times in her childhood made it difficult to fit into a ward and led to her feeling judged by the other youth. She stopped attending church and began to struggle with motivation and happiness. Her testimony finally began to grow when she went on a service trip to the Dominican Republic and felt, "the happiest I'd ever been". Attending church in the DR helped her feel the spirit in a way she never felt before and she began to think about serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She started serving in Guayaquil Ecuador and began to receive promptings that her time on the mission would be cut short. 
She tells about her process for receiving personal revelation on these big life decisions and the difficulty of struggling with mental health while being a disciple of Jesus Christ.
