Why Preserve Your Mission?
For many people, a mission becomes one of the defining experiences of their life.
The places, people, challenges, miracles, friendships, and lessons can shape the person you become.
Remember What You Learned
Years later, the details can fade. Preserve the experiences, people, and lessons that shaped the way you see the world.
Give Your Family a Window Into Your Life
Your children may know that you served a mission. Your parents may remember the day you left. But they may never know what your mission was really like. Let them hear it from you.
Preserve the Person You Were
Your mission captures a unique season of your life that can never be recreated. Preserve who you were before you left, who you became while you were gone, and what you carried home with you.
Your Mission. Your Story.
We guide you through a professionally filmed conversation about the experiences that made your mission meaningful.
Your Mission
Where you served, the people you met, the places you lived, and what everyday life was really like.
The Hard Parts
The challenges, disappointments, sacrifices, homesickness, and moments when things didn't go as planned.
The Miracles
The moments you still remember because something happened that you couldn't explain away.
The People
Companions, members, investigators, friends, leaders, and the people who became part of your story.
What You Learned
The lessons about faith, people, service, resilience, and yourself that stayed with you long after you came home.
What You Would Tell Yourself
The advice and perspective you would give to the young person who first walked onto the mission field.
For the Missionary Who Has Already Served
You only get one chance to live your mission. You should only have to tell the story once to preserve it for generations.
Maybe you came home last year. Maybe it has been ten years. Maybe it has been fifty. You probably still remember the people, the places, the funny moments, the difficult days, and the experiences that changed you.
A Mission Story gives you a chance to sit down and tell those stories while they are still part of you — not just what happened, but what it meant.
Your mission happened once. Your story can last forever.
For the Mom & Dad Who Watched Them Leave
Sometimes the person who wants the story preserved most isn't the missionary.
You remember the day they left. You remember packing the bags, the hugs, the tears, the excitement, and watching your son or daughter begin a journey that would change them.
You may have received letters, photos, and phone calls along the way. But there are thousands of moments you never got to see.
What was the hardest day? Who changed their life? What was the funniest moment? What did they learn about faith? What did they learn about themselves?
Give your missionary the opportunity to tell you — and give your family something you can watch together for generations.
A Mission Story isn't just a video of your missionary.
It's a way for your family to know their story.
Preserve Your Mission Story
$499
A professionally filmed Mission Story session designed to preserve the experience for you and the generations that come after you.
Professionally Filmed
We guide the conversation and capture your story in a polished, meaningful format.
Focused on Your Experience
This isn't a generic interview. We focus on the people, experiences, challenges, and lessons that made your mission yours.
Made for Your Family
Your story becomes something your children, grandchildren, and future generations can return to.
Before You Leave. After You Return.
What if you could see exactly who you were before your mission and who you became because of it?
A Pre-Mission Story gives you the chance to document who you are before your mission begins — your family, childhood, testimony, personality, hopes, fears, and what you expect from the experience.
Then, after you return, you can sit down again and tell the story of what actually happened. What surprised you? What challenged you? Who changed you? What did you learn? How did you change?
Pre-Mission Story
$149
Capture who you are before you leave and what you hope your mission will become.
Post-Mission Story
$449 when purchased with a Pre-Mission Story
Return after your mission and preserve what actually happened, what changed, and what you learned.
The two stories become a time capsule of who you were before your mission and who you became because of it.
The Before & After Package
For families who want to preserve the entire journey.
$598
Save $50 when you purchase both.
Start with a Pre-Mission Story before they leave. Then, after they return, preserve the story of what actually happened.
Years from now, your family can watch both films together. One shows the person they were before they left. The other shows the person they became.
Two stories.
One transformation.
A lifetime of memories.
For the Future Missionary
Before you leave, preserve the person you are right now.
Your life before your mission is part of the story too. Your family, childhood, friends, personality, testimony, dreams, fears, and expectations will all become part of the person you bring home.
A Pre-Mission Story gives you something you can return to years from now and remember exactly who you were before this experience changed you.
Don't just remember the mission.
Remember who you were before it began.
A Meaningful Gift for Your Missionary
Looking for something meaningful to give your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, spouse, or friend before they leave?
A Pre-Mission Story is a gift they can keep for the rest of their life. And when they return, you can give them the opportunity to preserve the second half of the story.
For parents especially, it is a chance to preserve the person you know before they leave — and then hear directly from them about the person they became.
Start Your Mission Story
Whether you're a returned missionary, preparing to leave, or a parent looking for a meaningful gift, tell us a little about what you'd like to preserve and we'll reach out.
