Brotherly Love

This is the back of an envelope Tanner mailed to us.

It's "Snazzy Porter" in his bowtie.

I love when my boys show they like each other.

Porter wrote a poem for Tanner last weekend.

He knows Tanner loves poems, and I confess I'm amazed:

The Missionary

As a missionary, it is my obligation

To spread the gospel throughout the nation.

To read and study the gospel books,

To keep tracting, through dirty looks.

As a missionary it is my work

To endure my labors and never shirk.

To help my companion feel the Holy Ghost

So through our experiences we will gain the most.

As a missionary it is my deed

To keep the commandments and plant the gospel seed.

Into each members heart I will put this feeling

Until all of Brazil each night is kneeling.

As a missionary it is my right

To pray to the Lord each and every night.

To be listened to by omniscient ears

As I push through my missionary years.
