Adorable Missionaries

Lovely has less than two more months until she is old enough to go to the nursery at Church. I can’t wait! I’m so sick of trying to entertain her for two hours while she is busily entertaining everyone else in class with her cute antics and not so cute screaming. She is a big distraction to everyone, even the teachers! We’re just going to suffer these next few weeks until she’s 18 months old.

I have to tell you though, about the missionaries in Sacrament Meeting. After one of them spoke, they both stood up together to sing a song. I started bawling before the piano even started! They looked so handsome standing up there preaching the gospel, I just wanted to pinch their cheeks and take them home with me. I can do that now. Cheek pinching totally belongs to old women who cry in Sacrament meetings. Call me Ma’am in public though and I’ll pinch your head off. Anyway…once they started the song there was no end to the tears. They sang “We’ll Bring the World His Truth” (We are as the armies of Helaman). It was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I didn’t look around but I’m pretty sure I was the only sniffler in the whole room. What is my problem!

I think that is my new favorite song. As we walked by the temple after General Conference last April, a group of Elders were lining the sidewalk singing that song as we passed down the middle. I have never felt the spirit so strongly. I didn’t want to leave but the crowd pushed us on.

We are as the army of Helaman.
We have been taught in our youth.
And we will be the Lord's missionaries
to bring the world His truth.

I can’t wait till Grey is old enough to be a missionary. By the way, does anyone out there want to hear the gospel? I need to do my part here to bring the world His truth. If you ever get any missionaries at your door, just let them in would you? How could you not? They are so adorable!
