Getting back in the swing of things
It's been a couple weeks since our last interview so we were excited to get back into action with the documentary. The core group was there (Rodd, Mark, Ashley, and myself), and we had some Stauffer's lasagna at Ashley's apt. before heading out. (I love that stuff!) Instead of driving down to San An, we went local this time, and interviewed an Austin resident named Ted Limb. He was friendly, cool, and laid back as we set up lighting and sound in his front room. Good thing too, because the set up took a little longer than I wanted, I had to get back in the swing of things, it's amazing what two weeks can do to you! But the lighting looked good, and things were ready to go. Brother Limb offered an interesting perspective on Texas LDS history because instead of being a native of San Antonio, he is a native to Corpus Christi. Why interview him, you may ask? Well, Corpus was once a part of the San Antonio Stake, so we were able to get a view from one of the outskirts of the early Texas church. Corpus Christi became its own stake eventually, and Bro. Limb was the first Eagle Scout and first missionary to come from the Corpus Christi stake. Near the end of the interview I really appreciated a remark he made when he noted that the San Antonio Temple is often referred to the "SA" Temple, and instead of thinking that "SA" stands for San An, he likes to refer to it as the "South Austin" temple. He then became rather emotional as he shared his deep gratitude for the temple and it being so close to him. Overall--a good day. Now we're gearing up for the ultimate San An long weekend marathon of power coming up this Friday!
