The Mormons: Sister Storm

The Mormons: Sister Storm from Mark Hedengren on Vimeo.

This video is a 6 minute video clip taken from "The Mormons" "a 28 Minute film that is part special screening at the LDS Film Fest that includes Latter-day Stranger, Supersonic Saints: Thrilling Stories form LDS Pilots and The Mormons." This film is now going to be playing at the LDS Film Fest on January 22nd.

When I was on Temple Square I met a friend of a friend, Mark Hednegren. He is a amazing photographer and took some pictures of me. When I got home from my mission he interviewed me for a photographic film he was making. The audio that you hear is me answering different questions Mark asked me. It's funny to hear my voice fluctuations because I called the Temple Square accent. All the missionaries on temple square talk like it. I tried so hard not to fall into it and thought I had escaped, however, now I can easily hear that I did not succeed.

Here are some pictures that he took:

It is weird and scary how much I have forgotten about my mission. This May it will be 4 years since I have been home. Time flies. I am so glad that Mark did this interview; it brings me back to who I was on my mission and shortly after. Missionaries and return missionaries have such a spirit about them, such a zeal for life and the gospel. It makes me sad to listen to this video and hear how excited I was for life because of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Life so distracting; it is sad how in 4 years that spiritual flame has dimmed. Where has it gone and how can I get it back?
