Can You Feel So Now, Aubrey Peterson?

Justin Barton interviews his niece Aubrey about her 18+ months as a missionary, where she served, and how her faith deepened. Aubrey, from Snowflake, Arizona, explains being called to the Temple Square Salt Lake City Mission (Spanish-speaking) and later reassigned for a short outbound experience to the Colorado Springs Mission, finishing March 2026 after starting in November 2024. She shares challenges learning Spanish amid many languages, companions from different cultures, and differences in questions asked by tour groups. In Colorado, facing opposition and unfamiliar proselyting, she admits she lacked a firm testimony of the Book of Mormon and gained it through vulnerability, scripture study, prayer, and fasting. She describes faith as taking risks, learning she isn’t an exception to consequences or God’s love, and choosing surrender and trust in God. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:22 Aubrey Background and Hobbies 00:45 Finding a Love for the Gospel 01:29 Mission Call and Reassignment 02:46 Spanish at Temple Square 04:01 Gift of Tongues in Action 05:23 Culture Lessons on Tours 08:19 Colorado Springs Growth 11:23 Vulnerability and Testimony 14:57 Why Serve Without Knowing 16:37 Introvert to Missionary Life 18:50 Prayer Becomes Personal 21:35 Not an Exception 25:17 Faith Means Acting 30:06 Fasting and Letting Go 32:58 Surrender and Trust God 36:16 Mission Theme Scripture 39:05 Final Counsel Build Testimony 40:15 Can You Feel So Now 42:46 Spanish Testimony and Farewell
