Here are the Assistants to the President, Elder LeDoux and Elder Palmer. They were the AP's when I first arrived on my mission. They are singing the Mission Rally Song. Every companionship sings this song before they have study time each day. Here are the invigorating words:
We are marching in the service of our Lord,
Endowed with power from on high.
Armed with faith to teach His Holy Word
For the Lord is Nigh. (Chorus)
Faith's the power and obedience the price
To serve our Savior valiantly.
Love's the motive and the spirit key.
Through eternity. (Chorus)
Chorus:
Oh, we labor in the service of God
With heart, might, mind, and strength.
Ever onward holding with faith the Iron Rod.
Ever onward forward with faith
We serve our God.
These words and music were written by Michele Bauer who was wife to one of our former mission presidents.
The two women on either side were are sister leader trainers at the time: Sister Su'a and Sister Lavatai'. The other sister singing is Sister Vai. Her first name is Inservice. When she hurt her foot, her companion said, "Inservice is out of service."
I tried to download the video of these men singing Abide With Me. It was beautiful, but it just wouldn't download. The Fijian people have beautiful voices and harmonize effortlessly.
I believe these children are all performing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." Unfortunately, you cannot hear the music, but you can see how much fun they are having--and the adults too.
Each of these young men enjoyed dancing their own unique way. They were having good clean fun.
