         HOME FOR THANKSGIVING
We have worked hard our mission for God to fulfill,
We have tried our very best the do the Master’s will,
Now we have been blessed with a thoughtful gift,
We’ll home for Thanksgiving it’s given us a lift.

Now we’ll have to work harder to complete each task,
And we will do everything that the Lord of us will ask,
Is there some way we can touch more hearts out here,
Bring the love of Jesus to others just a little bit near?

Even if others come and bring the gospel light again,
If we’ve trimmed some lamps they may burst into flame,
Maybe hearts have been softened by our gospel light
And all that is needed is time for it to grow and ignite.

Each person we have touched know who we love,
That we everyday try to serve our loving God above,
Worked to help others, spoke about what we believe,
I hope the gospel light will still grow when we leave.

But we will be home for our Canada Thanksgiving,
With most of the family together, feel of their loving,
Home to be with family, work in the temple again,
But after our wonderful mission we’ll never be the same.
