The Islands Podcast
Podcast Description
Iakwe & Mauri! I, Darin Tingey, served a two year religious mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Marshall Islands and Kiribati which are two islands countries in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. These are two of the most remote countries on earth and boast beautiful oceans and rich cultures. In this show I sit down with other former missionaries like myself that served in the Marshall Islands / Kiribati mission and we discuss the islands, missionary life, food, culture shocks, conversion stories, living in huts on the beach and much more. Welcome to The Islands!

Damon Swain served in the Marshall Islands Majuro Mission from 2012-2014. When Damon received his mission call it said he was going to be speaking English, but boy was that wrong. Damon served his entire mission in the Marshall Islands side of the mission, serving on the islands of Majuro, Ebeye, a quick jambo to Arno, and then finishing on the outer island of Ailinglaplap where he spent over 151 days. When there is demand for the class, Damon teaches a Marshallese culture and language class at BYU.
