play Play pause Pause
In this episode of A Decade Never To Be Forgotten, Jethro catches up with Savannah one year after her mission. A lot has changed—she got married to her high school sweetheart Alec after reconnecting over the summer, and they moved fast with intention and spiritual confirmation.

Topics covered:
  • How Savannah and Alec reconnected after their missions and decided to get married within months
  • Finding spiritual confirmation through peace rather than dramatic revelation
  • Maintaining good habits from missionary life in the "real world"
  • The importance of regular temple attendance and finding something new each visit
  • Early marriage adjustments (including learning to cook!)
  • Switching from nursing to Communication Disorders/Speech Language Pathology
  • Running her first marathon with minimal training—and losing four toenails
  • Looking ahead to graduate school and using her spiritual gift of loving people in her future career
