Simply Mormon

I wanted to share this great blog about being an LDS / Mormon woman in life today. It's a great place to start sharing thoughts about life and religion in our society. There are many anti-Mormon blogs and misunderstandings about being LDS -- we are somehow thought of as being associated with the Amish or polygamist cults. It's not accurate at all, and I think it's nice to get correct information to the public about what we believe -- as well as share our testimonies of Jesus Christ and his Atonement. I'm very happy to support this blogger in her efforts to share her thoughts and feelings - not just about being a Latter-day Saint - but about being a single mom, about coping and staying on top of things in a life that is filled with so many distractions. She also has a blog about simplifying and organizing which is fantastic.

Hiring Marketing Students

Hi all --

I'm looking for a couple of marketing students who would like to earn money this summer (on commission). I have a CD about "The Testaments" (LDS Film) and need creative marketing for it. I want people who love the film, love the LDS culture, and can think outside the box.

You don't have to be a marketing student -- even if you wanted to take some to a local county fair, or spread the word in your local area -- let me know what you would like to do and we can work out a commission for you.

I have a list of about 50 ways we can market the CD, but don't have time myself to do the marketing.

If you're interested, let me know -- romayallen (at) hotmail.com.

LDS Film - The Testaments - Fireside Now Available

The new LDS Church movie -- The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd is now available on DVD. There is a fireside that was done by Ane Marie and Tomas Kofod (the man who portrayed the Savior in the film). The fireside entitled "Of One Fold and One Shepherd" contains the powerful conversion stories and experiences that Tomas had behind the scenes of The Testaments. He shares how the Lord tutored him and prepared him to play the role.

Tomas and Ane Marie are very good friends of mine -- and each time I have listened to this fireside, I am touched by the way the Lord is in charge -- and how He has a role for each of us. Both Tomas and Ane Marie have powerful testimonies and you will feel the Spirit as you hear about their conversions to the LDS Church, their experiences and miracles the Lord performed during the making of The Testaments.

A great gift for anyone (especially for Easter) -- it's available now as a download file exclusively through LDS Audio. If you would like to pre-order a CD, you can purchase through Latter-day Light Books. If you have seen The Testaments -- you're going to want to hear this fireside! Both adults and teenagers will benefit from hearing these stories!

The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd

Hi all -- I just was notified that you can purchase "The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd" through the LDS Catalog. It's only $4.50 for the DVD. Anyway, the reason I tell you about it is because it was my film debut (I was village person #61 in the film). I kind of laugh about it because I'm only in 1 scene but it was really cool to be in it and see the behind the scenes of filmmaking. My very good friend Tomas Kofod played the role of Christ in the film, and his wife was also in it as an extra (and she designed some of the costumes as well).

Anyway, it's a great film, the people involved were very nice and hard working. I loved being involved plus, it has a powerful message.
