Oh, how lovely was the morning!
Radiant beamed the sun above.
Bees were humming, sweet birds singing,
Music ringing thru the grove.
When within the shady woodland
Joseph sought the God of love.
I start my email with these lyrics from Joseph Smith's first prayer in the hymn book. We sang these words in the world wide devotional with D. Todd Christopherson that was broadcasted. My cousin, Dayton, who is in the Mexico MTC, said that he saw me in the choir, which is cool! These words are so powerful and really sets the scene of how it felt when he was there.
On Wednesday, it was our teacher's birthday. We threw him a surprise party - sorta. Our other teacher taught us a Marshallese happy birthday song and we sang it to him accompanies by the uke. Since we don't have a piano in our classroom, our teacher plays his uke with the hymns, in the Marshallese hymn book, there are chords so you can accompany it with the uke. It is so fun to sing.
We did our last TRC yesterday where we skyped a member in the islands and taught him a lesson. It is so fun! We got our flight plans last week and we leave Tuesday morning, we fly to San Francisco then to Honolulu then to Majel. We are all stocked! Stay tuned for the first episode of Elder Underwood vs. wild!
