June 24, 2009

That's the day & here's the place:

Congratulations Ryan!!!

Mission Song

We strive not for glory, we strive not for fame
We’re serving in Arkansas with only one aim
The Priesthood of God with which others we bless
The most glorious honor that man can posses

Yes!

We follow the Prophet, we teach of the Lord
We testify daily of His church restored
A million will join us; it’s the end of the drought
We’re called to the harvest; it’s the day of the South!

Though we’re far from perfect, our God is our King
For Him we will work now, to Him we will sing
We work for our Father, and this is our goal
The salvation of thousands, the saving of souls

Yes!

We follow the Prophet, we teach of the Lord
We testify daily of His church restored
A million will join us; it’s the end of the drought
We’re called to the harvest; it’s the day of the South!

You're much too young to have a missionary son! I guess it's real - wow! The first of 3 to lead the way! Congrats Ryan!

Hooray! We are big fans of missionaries here! We'll keep rooting for him ... even if he didn't go to the right mission. ha! Just kidding! Love that they have a mission song. How cool is that!

Sorry Lacy...

Congratulations!!!! WooHoo! I think he will find out all those good recipes to use up road kill there. All right!

Facebook guesses don't count here! Scott guessed Alabama on my blog and that's a whole state away. Lacy is the official winner.

He is going to be so great! Didn't we have a missionary here that was from there a while ago?

Kristin said...

Congrats Ryan!! And I agree with LaRae you are much to young to have a missionary!

Oh Arkansas is such a special place for me, all my mom's family is up on northern Arkansas in Mountain Home {I did see it on your little map}. What is his mission? If he ever goes to Mountain Home, we will have him totally hooked up! Congratulations Ryan!
