Ballards Meet Joseph Smith

WE had an opportunity to go to see this movie as a family. It is a unique movie about Joseph in the sense it is not just highlights of Joseph, it is about his life. It is a history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints.
When we went to the movie and the actor of Joseph Smith was waiting for us at the front door. He is truely not my image of what Joseph Smith was like but he had a very kind face and feel about him. He was very interested in Logan (Who wouldn't be) and even shook his hand like a grown-up. We declared we had shook the hand of a representative of a prophet. Very exciting.
After the movie the actor opened the floor for questions. Strangely the children asked the most profound questions. Why were the visions not shown? Why was Joseph not looking at the plates when he translated? It was very cool. His answers were inspiring and well thought out. It was a wonderful and delightful experience.

Logan did so well for his first movie. There was a lot of food being shoved at him and standing and rocking, but all in all he did well.
