Missionary Thoughts
Bump Day
Bump Day means six month shave gone,
Some have been short and some very long,
The road has been Bumpy, but you have trudged on.
You've worked very hard not to go wrong,
The Spirit whispers, "You're where you belong". |
Greenie
As we understand it, a "greenie"you are,
An experienced missionary you're NOT by far.
Be not discouraged it won't be long
Till all of your greenie days are gone.
Not many more weeks until you can say
"Oh, I remember that wonderful day
When a package from home arrived green as could be
With plentiful surprises all meant for me.
But now I am seasoned and wise as can be
All because of hard work, prayer and study." |
The Hump
So you have hit the hump, and half-way through,
Isn't it great how the Lord protects you.
We are proud of your work, of your baptisms, and knocks,
Glad you have found work, but know you wore out your socks.
So remember all you learned in this very first year,
You with the Lord have worked hard to get you were you are now,
So don't let the work slack, and pray as you bow.
With the help of the Lord you have changed inside out,
Growing more valiant, stronger, and very stout.
So strengthen others in this downhill road,
And don't let it be said that you had to be picked with a goad.
(see Bible dictionary)

12 is a
wonderful number you know,
With the Priesthood at 12 you started to grow,
In love, and in service in righteous desire,
And now with 12 months don't get midway tired.
Just keep on converting for the next two years
Teaching the gospel, (which brings mother her tears)
About the Savior, the Plan of Salvation,
And all that transpired with the gospel's restoration.
Be proud of your growth, your work and your mission,
And hope for investigators who are willing to listen.
Teach with the Spirit, and work very hard,
It is the best of your life, for you're working for
the Lord. |
Hump Day
You are over the hump now you really must hurry,
On your bike, In a car, you must work in a flurry.
Find the honest in heart, you can do it, I bet-
You must work your hardest so there won't be regret.

Slump Day
Every so often you'll feel in a slump,
"Sometimes even tears- in your throat there's a lump.
Alma recalled the work was not easy
Even a Liahona would not make it easy. (Alma
37:39-47)
So pull out the scriptures and in faith read on, (D&C
11:21)
Withstand every temptation and soon they'll be gone.
(Alma 37:33)
The whole armor of God is waiting for you. (Eph. 6:11)
Trust in your Saviour and He'll pull you through. (2
Nephi 1:23) |
Jump Day (for Elders)
Today is your jump day
Eighteen months you've been out.
The prices you've paid
Make you seasoned, no doubt.
Thoughts of home are cloudy and seem a bit grey,
While your companion is new and sure likes to play.
This box we are sending makes your mission more clear,
Cause it's loaded with love from all of us here.
The time will fly by now on wings of light,
You're a valuable instrument in the Lord's sight.
Upward and On ward, there's no time to waste,
Because of you-the fruit of life MANY will taste.
(1 Nephi 8:12) |
Jump Day (for
Sisters)
Today is your jump day
Fifteen months you've been out.
The prices you've paid
Make you seasoned, no doubt.
Thoughts of home are cloudy and seem a bit grey,
While your companion is new and sure likes to play.
This box we are sending makes your mission more clear,
Cause it's loaded with love from all of us here.
The time will fly by now on wings of light,
You're a valuable instrument in the Lord's sight.
Upward and On ward, there's no time to waste,
Because of you-the fruit of life MANY will taste.
(1 Nephi 8:12) |
