Our Mission


Our Mission


As we stared out the window
The tears still in our eyes.
We saw the faces of those we love
We just said our last Goodbyes.

The ride was long and tiresome,
As two questions played our minds.
Do we want the life that’s up ahead,
Or the one we're leaving behind?

18 months is such a long, long time,
For going so far away.
And our reflection, we thought to ourselves,
There must be another way.

We dragged ourselves down off the plane,
And the world was within our reach. 
When President turned us the other way,
 "The Temporal Affairs of Elders we must meet"

Is it, reflecting once again,
As this day is our last.
Please Lord, it isn’t fair.
The time is gone by way too fast.

And we stare out the window,
The tears again in our eyes.
We see the Elders, Families, and Friends we love.
And we just said our last good-byes.

The ride home is long and tiresome,
As two questions play our mind,
Do we want the life that’s up ahead,
Or the one we left behind?

(paraphrased from a poem of one of our Elders)
