Elder Tyson Peterson Micronesia Guam Mission June 2008-2010: Zone Leaders Hill and Fox coming to the baptism

Micronesia Guam Mission Hymn (tune: Hark all ye Nations)

We as his fishers, strong bold and true,
In Micronesian oceans of blue,
Cast in our nets as he doth direct,
Gather the Lord's elect.

Angels of god have opened the way,
Visiting Prophets in Latter day,
leaving a record as heavenly proof,
that we declare the truth.

Priesthoods restored and fulness hath come,
So bear we witness in every tongue,
open their hearts unstop every ear,
Love overcometh fear.

Buried in water, the old way is gone;
Risen with the spirit fresh as the dawn,
In His true church so filled with his light
our destiny is bright.

Though evil men and forces combine
They cannot thwart God's purpose divine,
nor can unhallowed hands ever stay,
our labors here today.

Chorus:
Come unto Christ, ye isles of the sea
We proclaim, his truth shall make you free.
May God's Spirit speak in accord,
His gospel is restored

A New Game

We play a new game,
It's different you see,
we take the field,
a companion and me.

My teammates,
well they are all still the same,
four in the field
and one suiting up for the game.

Ray and Justin are in Mexico,
Ross in Brazil,
Trevor's in Spain,
it's a much bigger field.

So, it's safe to say
our offense is spread,
and we take the field
with the playbooks we've read

But we're playing a team,
one tougher than most,
Our opponent is made up of
a third of the host.

But we'll be prepared,
and shun bad things that approach
because we're on our knees each night
consulting our Head Coach.

But it's a long game,
we'll be tired indeed
But we'll return home men
if we strive to succeed.

And on the bench are sitting,
young men waiting to go in.
and they look up to us,
Who will return as Men
