This video contrasts two powerful narratives: the audio features a young woman criticizing LDS missions, calling them harmful and emotionally damaging. But the visuals tell a completely different story.

Set against her harsh words, the video shows real clips of missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints laughing, serving, teaching, and finding joy in their work. From helping communities to sharing faith, the footage reveals the true spirit of missionary life — one of sacrifice, growth, and deep fulfillment.

Despite the criticism, the joy and blessings of serving speak for themselves.

“Mormon missions are awful” 😳 Then why was mine the exact opposite? #mormon #lds #exmo #exmormon #utah #christian #jesus
