HERRIMAN — Utah students are heading out to serve missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this send-off is everything. Over 80 students from Herriman High showed up to proudly represent where they'll be serving. Local photographer Kassie Feinga coordinated a shoot on Sunday at the Oquirrh Temple. She worked with student body president Romney Hewlett who put the call out to students who received their calls. [gallery ids="914190,914191,914192,914193,914194"] They did a few practice runs to make sure things went smoothly. And as you can see from the final video, they nailed it. Feinga was expecting maybe 50 or 60 students, but more kept showing up and she ended up featuring 84 soon-to-be missionaries. Hewlett was thrilled about the turn out. “We got this video done last year with last year’s missionaries, but we wanted it done this year. It’s even better because we have sister missionaries. It feels awesome,” Hewlett said. Feinga said she wanted to do this project free of charge as a way to say thank you for the service they’re providing all around the world.
