Stephanie Erlandson
If you have followed this blog you know that a group of students went over on the first Mary Okeyo Scholarship trip as a kind of ‘shake down’ journey and to get video, pictures and interviews. They worked very hard getting blogs up for us on the trip and when they could have been relaxing on the beach or goofing off they were working and getting interviews and video.
The Minnesota Convention is coming up next week and you will be seeing some of their work. Stephanie has done a marvelous job on video. That video will be available later for those who wish to use it in their congregations.
I have been around enough to know how these things go and what kind of talk goes on in the halls and the back of the room at conventions. Lutheran conventions are nototious for wanting everything to be ‘top drawer’ so that we can complain about the excess and the cost. So just so you know the video production cost the Minnesota North and the the North Dakota District nothing. The camera cost nothing. The editing cost nothing. The narrator tried to get paid but didn’t. So if you want to complain about the costly companies that some use to produce materials and displays go ahead but you can’t complain about this. The only cost will be in reproducing and getting stuff on flash drives and cd’s. I want to commend this young people and we will talk more about what they have done and how you can get it later.
Stephanie Erlandson goes to Bethany college. She lives at Lutheran Island camp and many will know her as Ken Erlandsons’ daughter. Be sure and watch her video at your convention – she did a great job.
