Filming

CHURCH TRAINING VIDEO

Brother Blair Treu, film director, flew to Durban to film President Thompson for a new training video for missionaries!

President Thompson talks about the importance of missionaries being obedient.

One of our departed missionaries, Elder Baumgartner, will also be featured on the video about his story while serving in Lesotho last year. Elder Baumgartner and the other missionaries were asked to stay inside their apartments one afternoon due to some civil unrest. They were asked to study since it was a Sunday! However, Elder Baumgartner and his companion and two other missionaries decided to build a ramp to jump a bicycle outside. While Elder Baumgartner made the jump, the front tire of his bike detached and caused a horrible crash. Elder Baumgartner broke his jaw, his face was scraped, plus arms and hands. He had to have to jaw wired shut for six weeks and was sent home early. If these missionaries would have been obedient to what was asked, this accident would not have happened. Needless to say, the story will be part of a safety video that will be ready in about six months to use as training for missionaries!

 Brother True director and produced the movie called "Meet the Mormons", plus a host of others!
