 The Church was invited to the TV station for an interview about “Meet the Mormons”. Because of what we saw at the awards ceremony with this TV station, we were rather concerned. It was all live interviews. The Station owner/ manager wanted two interviews. One about the movie and the other one about what our church believes. She is well respected and covers a large part of Southern Italy so it was important to do well. Our Public Affairs person was to do the interview with Pres. but her daughter hurt her back and she had to decline the interview today. We had one other person on stand by and he came. When we arrived the owner wasn’t too happy our person, who they changed the interview for-- wasn’t coming.  We hopefully smoothed some of that but it was a little awkward at first.
She decided she would just interview Pres. and they did a 20-25 minute take. She did not ask any hard question, most were easy to answer. Pres. did very well, the lights were very warm and he was in a suit, he still handled it all without any language problems and no odd poses.
The long and the short-- all ours and your prayers were answered. We are very grateful!
They did not do a live take and they will show the ‘ trailer’ on their station as well. They will air the clips??? No promises when but they will do clips before both showings. All in all couldn’t be more pleased! The owner is a good woman and we feel confident she will air the clips without a negative spin.
Sorella Mc notice the tie-- what great taste you have! 
Just going over the interview and evaluating before ascending the stairs and home.
Oh the power of faith and prayers-- GRAZIE to one and all!
