I started writing a little poem, cuz there is just so much down time haha The reason I started writing it is cuz here in this mission a lot of missionaries make songs for our mission and one Tongan Elder asked me to do it for a song which I was like- I can’t rap- but then he moved and it never got anywhere so I just kept going haha.
Filling out my papers just not knowing where I’ll go,
Nuku'alofa Tonga is the Lord's finangalo
Learning a new language, meet new people every day,
Leaving family for two years, call home Christmas and Mother’s Day
People ask us why we do this, why we put our life on hold
It's cuz we've gained a testimony. We just be doin what we're told
Livin the island life, most times there ain’t a thing to do
Just sit back enjoy the breeze, count your referalls maybe 2?
Wearing these slippers and a skirt, not the suit my parents bought
Always moving here and there, it’s just nothing like I thought
But it's the Misiona Tonga. I wouldn't trade it for a thing,
Day by day, door by door His plan of happiness we bring
This is something we've been planning since we were all just little kids,
Playing around in nursery classes eating crackers, throwing fits
We all remember those primary days, our decisions to follow Christ
Being baptized at age 8, becoming clean just felt so nice.
President Tupou- that guy’s the bomb. He tells us where we need to go
He says become a master planner, then our numbers start to grow
This mission thing it’s not so easy getting shut down from day to day
So he found something that works, he says "Members will be the way."
And that’s all I got for now.......
