Egg Family's Take-a-Ways on "Meet the Mormons" Movie

Opening Day at
"Meet The Mormons"

Theron wanted to see "Dracula" and Hannah was looking forward to the "One Direction" movie coming out for one day on Saturday the 11th.  Kristy was at work, and there we were at the 5pm showing of "Meet the Mormons" at the AMC West Oaks in Ocoee, FL on October 10th.

"Oh great, it's the Mormons..."
Fast forward to about 6:30pm the same night; Theron can't wait to take mom to see the "Meet the Mormons"movie, and Hannah's thinking more about going on a mission (don't tell her I said that). Good stuff!

Theron loved the Simpson's make-fun scene, and I liked the Fletch reference, but I think our favorite part as a family was the story of the single mom, Dawn Armstrong who found the church.
Fletch; "What, is he a Mormon...?"

That story shows Dawn's son preparing for a mission. The movie delves into the history that brought them to the point at which they see him off at the airport for his 2 year mission call to South Africa. Weaved in were the experiences with some sister missionaries and a convenience store attendant that cared enough to open her mouth, making all the difference.

We left the theater with a new vision of sharing the movie and all of the good things that come from our own experiences.  I wondered, do I share those things with others?
Egg Family-"Meet These Mormons"

It's our turn to make it  happen.  I want people feel something like the stories in the movie shared. I would like others to want to know more about who we are when they, "Meet These Mormons".
