Kagoshima Missionary Efforts 50th Anniversary Reenactment Video

I had to break the video into 4 scenes due to video size restrictions.  Sister Lee and I are at the beginning of scene 2 but we encourage viewers to watch in order to capture the flow of the video.


Here we are.  The first mission president and his wife were Japanese so we got drafted to play the part.  Elder Helm filmed, directed, edited, narrated (the deeper voice) and produced the video.  I thought he did a fine job.  I was hesitant at first to accept the role but he guaranteed we didn't have any speaking parts.  I did have to say something to make it look like I was doing what the narration said.  Anyway, we are honored to represent the real president and his wife and we hope we did them proud.


In the 3rd scene, young Sister Mana Sano represented the first person baptized after the missionary efforts got started in the Kagoshima area.


This last scene shows some memories of the Kagoshima Branch.
