The Big Secret!

As I was driving Melanie and John to school (five days after we had taken Alissa to the MTC) Melanie said to me, "Mom, I know how we can make the time go faster so Alissa won't have to be gone so long." "Oh, you do?" I said. "Yes. That song we sing says 'time doth softly, sweetly glide when there's love at home.' So if we just show more love in our home, the time will sweetly glide, go faster, right?" "Yes, I think that is a wonderful idea Melanie. I think we should try it." Anyone else interested? Cute. Very cute and sweet. We have a long way to go in our home but we are trying.

The Army of Helaman

Our Heavenly King is calling to us
To come and join the fight,
To bring our shields and helmets, too,
And come with swords held tight.
For lo, the numerous enemy lines
Are marching, thousands strong.
Yet we have faith in Christ our King,
And He upholds our arms.
Although weighed down with what we face,
We know that we will win,
For Christ is fighting on our side:
We are His Army of Helaman.
We come with faith in the living God,
As missionaries do,
And we will go with courage strong
To bring the world His truth.
It matters not where we are sent,
For God protects us still,
And we, with hearts firm in the faith
Shall stand with iron will:
We won’t give up, we won’t let up
For the God of miracles.
We will press on, we will hold on
As the Hope of Israel.
And though we struggle to face the foe
In the fight against all sin,
There is no sword that slays the truth
Or hurts the Army of Helaman.
The call is to come, to not give in,
To be loyal, strong, and true,
For that is what the Saviour did
When He died for me and you.
So courage, friends! Come join the ranks
Of missionary men and women
Who stand with testimonies firm
In the God of the Army of Helaman.
