Since my young women days we have always tried really hard to let the Elders in our ward know how much we appreciate their service. Especially since I have been home I have tried to be as helpful as possible. Last week Amanda and I made some posters and put them on the wall leading to the missionaries house and then on the door for them to find when they came home. Just our little way of saying welcome. The poem on the door said:
Hello Elder Dame,
You probably think this is lame
But we have to play the game,
Around here things always stay the same.
Fresh meat on the market,
So we made you all our target.
Two tags make a pair
And 3 just make a scare!
We do miss those who are gone,
But will claim you 3 as our own.
Please don’t sing us a song,
The first time was just wrong.
Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces,
And filling all the empty church pew spaces,
Feeling the spirit, even in small traces,
Can help save the worst of cases!
Good luck planting the seed,
Show them the truth through all your good deeds.
And please let us know what you need,
We all want to help y’all succeed!

There will now be 3 missionaries in our ward: Elder Dame, Elder Merrill and Elder Davis. Amanda left them a loaf of her zucchini bread on the hand rail as a nice little late night snack. She told me that since I have been home our rhyming has greatly improved! I think it is fun to do and as a missionary I loved it when the members went out f their way and took time out of their busy lives to make us feel welcome and special. If any of you would like a hand it next time just let me know. The more the merrier! But if you would really like to make their lives easier you can ask some of you friends to hear the gospel. I know that they will be more than glad to share what they know and save a soul in the process. Let's show these boys how its done LC style. Next time you see them on the street, take time to talk, shake hands and love'em up. (Boys only of course) and do what you can to make this work roll forth! Remember pretty is as pretty does and we have some right handsome fellows serving us. Lets be pretty and help them carry the load!

I think you should have left out the pictures of me! This is totally not a sneaky thing anymore as tell everyone it was us. Next time lets not even wait till they're not home we'll just tape their door shut!
OK!!! Sounds like a plan! We could even surran wrap the porch while they are inside and decorate the front yard. Wow the ideas just keep coming! Glad you liked it! :)
That's really cute. You girls are Gold :)
Azie, in that first picture I think that you and Amanda look so much alike! I know you are cousins and all, but you look like you could be sisters! We fed the missionaries last night. I made Thanksgiving in June. Was in the kitchen all day but we all enjoyed it. :)
