True Highs and Lows of Sister Missionary Life

As a former sister missionary, I found "Errand of Angels" to be extremely validating. I loved the honest way the film addressed the true highs and lows of sister missionary life. I found that it captured the essence of what every sister experiences. I served in Argentina, the film is set in Austria, and yet there are so many parallels that I can draw between the two such as not getting along with a companion, going on a splits with someone new and inspiring, finding your own testimony, serving others, finding yourself in awkward discussion moments, caring deeply about those you come in contact with, losing investigators, being part of a conversion and baptism, and even eating everything on your plate, both known and unknown. Aside from the candid storyline, the the film was shot beautifully and creatively. Visually, it's rich, colorful, and effectively highlights locations, while quietly showcasing European scenery. The overall mood and feeling is calm, peaceful, and spiritually centered. A perfect Sunday afternoon movie. My fourteen year old daughter loves to watch this movie on Sundays. She is looking forward to serving a mission when she is of age and we discuss the way the film portrays a mission as a challenging yet ultimately rewarding experience. I feel that it is important for young sisters to realize that a mission isn't an exotic vacation but an intense learning period full of personal trials to help you grow into the person you can become. I believe that "Errand of Angels" depicts that concept in a very heartfelt and humble way. I am grateful for a film that substantiates the worth of dedicating eighteen months to the Lord.

Fifty seven channels and NEARLY nothing on (hotel)

The boss sang it in 1992 and i experimented this fact during my west coast – east coast this summer. I was in America for 23 days with a different city, hotel room each day and for more than 3 weeks, my zapping on cable TV was a lost time : an explosion of ads, limited sport choices, silly programs about home, food, TV reality, sharks or crimes, awful movies, stupid sitcoms, looping news, well, not an once of creativity or culture…

Except when i reached Salt Lake city and i discovered this movie on BYU TV.

This is just an amazing feature, totally out of time and deeply engaging. In a way, it's close to « Hideous Kinky » as it's about a young woman who travels abroad to fulfill her faith. I think that in a way, I aspire myself to that alternative life so that's explain why that kind of movies makes always a big impression on me. In all cases, meeting this kind of girl who is driven by spiritual needs would be a miracle as looks and money seems to be the only assets in relationships today. Anyway, here, the « sister » is just amazing as her enthusiasm and energy are contagious. Her experience is very well told with fun and with wisdom. It's cool to see that they can joke about their religion just because smile and laughs comes from their heart thus from their creator ! It gives also a good lesson about tolerance and compassion : loving your neighbors isn't only loving the ones who cares about you but especially the ones who are difficult ! And as in « Signs », you can understand that having faith is to never be alone and to have a special connection with the creator ! At last, the director frames with talent all the shoots and the songs are just great : « as sisters in Zion », « silent night » ! In conclusion, if those angels errand, they are also touched by grace as this movie really shines your day now and after !

Watchable but frustrating to watch.

I didn't think this was going to be watchable but surprisingly it is mainly because you're not drowning in religious nonsense.

So watching around the religious bits its quite an appealing story. Girl meets world. Would have been better if for instance it was about a girl backpacking or couch-surfing though Europe without all the references to god or something related. But all that religious stuff can't be ignored. I was constantly feeling the urge to shake those missionary sisters to try and wake them up. They seem to have good intentions, I guess you could say they have their hart at the right place but this isn't the way to do good. Trying to convince people fictional stuff is real seems very mind controlling to me (have you heard of those ridiculous Mormon/Bible/Coran... stories?). Rather use those good intention for some real doing good like helping greenpeace or something.

Something I noticed is that they were quite hesitant to use the word Mormon throughout the first 3/4 of the movie. I wonder why? I didn't even realize that it wasn't the regular Christian stuff one thinks of when hearing the word missionary.

The acting throughout the movie was quite decent although it didn't have much dept overall. One thing tough the lead character didn't seem to get any better at German besides from understanding more. Her German accent was horrible as well. No improvement whatsoever although she says at one point that her German improved quite a bit.
