Check out our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/goyeforthpodcast/ Hello everyone! Today I wanted to start by thanking a reviewer on Apple Podcasts, “GKKEL”, thank you for your glowing review and 5-star rating! This really helps us to be found as people are searching for podcasts with good content. On today's show, I speak with Gary Gittins who served in the Marshall Islands, Majuro Mission from 2010 to 2012. And in my missionary minute, I talk about the sacrifice of the saints. So let's get to it! ..... Gary, it's been so fascinating hearing about your mission. Thanks for your missionary service, thank you for sharing some highlights from your mission, and thanks so much for reaching out to me! A big thanks to my new friend Gary Gittins. Gary actually just loves the podcast and reached out to me and said that he'd like to share his missionary experience and I'm so glad he did. We had a few technical glitches, but it all worked out. What a beautiful area to serve and an even more beautiful people to serve in Kitabus. And They're getting a temple! I looked it up and it was announced in October of 2020. In today's missionary minute…. As I was speaking with Gary I remembered our branch president in La Rochelle, France. He lived in another city called Rochefort about 35 kilometers away from La Rochelle. We would take a train there a couple of times a month to work in that city. And when we would get there we would stay in the home of the branch president. They would fix us a great dinner, often a couscous and seafood dish. They were from Tahiti and were so generous and loving and were so happy that we would be there in their neighborhood teaching. At the end of the day, there would be a couple of mattresses on the floor in the living room. And we would sleep there in their home. I don't know if I knew it back then, but at some point, I found out that we were sleeping on their mattresses. They didn't give us the shirt off their back, but they gave us their beds and I assume that they slept on the hard floor because of their love and respect for the missionaries. There are countless stories like this from missionaries around the world. Missionaries are blessed by the sacrifices of the saints. Well, that's about it for today's show. If you or someone you know has served a mission and you think that they would be a fun guest for the show, please contact me @ goyeforthpodcast@gmail.com If you liked the show, please subscribe so that you are notified when new episodes come out. We would also appreciate it if you could rate and review the podcast in Apple podcasts, or share it with a friend. Until next time, wax strong in the gospel my friends!

AL is joined by co-host Phill Morris to talk to, friend of The Biscuit, Dr Phill Gittins, who is a renown peace builder from Shropshire. Dr Phill is joining us from where he is currently situated in Bloivia, South America. This podcast is not designed to scare, worry or confuse anyone.   The purpose of this podcast is to open up a healthy discussion about how we ourselves can talk about the current terrible war in Ukraine. There are many aspects that we need to look at here: - How can we talk to our inquisitive children about this? - Should we shield our kids from the facts, or openly discuss the war? - What do we mean about the power of non-violence and how  important is this? - How can we help the community around us? - What is the business of war? We are all aware of how scary these times are, the awful effects this war is having on the Ukrainian population, the direct and indirect effects the war can have on us here. We have to be able to discuss this situation, get things off your chest and maybe look for ways we can help. Dr Phill works with https://worldbeyondwar.org/ who work all around the world to try and open up the world of peace-building to many, offering the tools and training necessary. A direct quote from their website reads  'So, if we can't use war to resolve international conflicts, what can we do? Finding a way to transition to a global security system that is supported by international law, diplomacy, collaboration, and human rights, and defending those things with nonviolent action rather than the threat of violence, is the heart of WBW'

In what is almost certainly one of the best interviews we've ever had on The Biscuit, AL & Max speak to Phill Gittins. Phill is work with The Marches School in Oswestry trying to build a new generation of peace builders, in a project that is absolutely needed in todays societal climate. But first we have to ask the important questions. What is Peace? How do we deal with conflict? How do we bring people out of their bubble? and who do we all consider to be our own peace building role model? This interview was so fascinating, I didn't want it to end. We could talk about this subject for hours. But we got the best we could during this hour-ish long episode. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this episode and whether it helped them or not - AL
