My Meet the Mormons movie review

So I went with my parents to see Meet the Mormons about a week ago.  Good stuff!  The documentary showcased six different Mormons.  They were all wonderful and I am still thinking about them.  Wonderful isn't the word.  It's more like impressionable.  The only one who seemed a little lacking in background and dimension was this incredible LDS convert from Nepal.  He seemed fascinating and inspirational.  I want to personally meet him.  I want to be like him.  He is brilliant (an engineer) and converted in Russia of all places.  He spoke most to me for someone I'd like to be more like.  Oh, bye the way, the NY Times review said that it was rated PG for potential proselytizing.  So funny that something can become PG because of that!

I just loved the mom and kickboxer from Costa Rica.  She and her husband have a cool cross-fit-y gym in Costa Rica.  Man is she ever driven and determined and she and her hubby really have it together as a team plus she seems like a fun and loving mom.  It made me want to start some kind of company on the side with Paul.  Lastly, the mom who used to be homeless and now lives in Utah was so interesting and heartwarming to me because she endured so much but then at the end she was okay.  She got baptized and married a great guy and her son was going on a mission.  So so happy for her.

Well, there's my review.  Everyone should see it.  Great job Mormon Church!
