Memories....

I was looking for some cds tonight. I have a map program that I couldn't ever get to load on the old computer, but now that we have the new one, I'd like to give them a shot. Amy thought they may be in a box of my "keepsakes" as she has it marked. No dice. But there were things from before my mission and on my mission in there.

Sometimes it's somewhat scary to look at what one was like in the past. At times I always thought I was a so so missionary and that I didn't really learn too much. Wrongo bucko. I learned a lot. Looking through some of the papers reminded me of that. It also reminded me of things I need to be doing that I'm slacking on.

In the box was a book called "Drawing on the Powers of Heaven" by Grant Von Harrison. Good book, everyone should read it. I need to re-read it and follow it's teachings.

On a more fun note, I found a small stack of notes from zone conferences and other meetings. In there was a song I wrote. Yes, I wrote a song. It's about sister missionaries. Every Elder out there hates sisters. They are a thorn in the missionaries side. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be out there. I'm just saying they are annoying. Many of those missionaries that ridicule the sisters end up marrying one. Now here's the words to the song.

You give them your heart and your money
When you leave home she is your honey.
You're back and ready for a date,
That's when she says "you'll have to wait"

She turned in her papers
She's gonna be a sister.
A sister missionary
A sister missionary

You see them walking down the street
The ground is shaking beneath their feet
They're fat and big, it's really scary
Some of them are even hairy

I hate sisters
I hate sisters
Sister missionaries
Sister missionaries

You spend two years of your life
Hoping one won't be your wife
They get on your nerves all the time
All they do is complain and whine

I hate sisters
I hate sisters
Sister missionaries
Sister missionaries

Then one day, you get a letter
Says "I wish that things could've been better
Roses are red, violets are blue
I promised to wait, but not for you"

I hate sisters
I hate sisters
Sister missionaries
Sister missionaries

Now some look hot and some look fine
Sometimes I wish that one were mine
When we get home I'll ask one out
If she says yes I'll scream and shout

I love sisters
Gonna marry a sister
A sister missionary
A sister missionary

I even played it on my guitar. Some out there even have a recording I'm sure. Man I was bored or something..
