Mission Lunch Song

We have born, as Nephi of old, to goodly parents who love the Lord. And on this day, we thank you a bunch for fixing us this fantastic lunch. We are as the army of Helamen, and when our mission is through we'll thank the Lord for all who have helped us, especially people like you. Your Christ-like love has shown through! Thank you!

Oregon Portland Mission Song

Music from "Called to Serve"

Called to serve in the Oregon Portland Mission

Called by a prophet in the latter-days;

Standing firm to point the true direction

Straight and narrow is the way.

Blessed to teach our Heavenly Father's children

Blessed to share our testimonies true

Of the Prophet Joseph, and the Restoration

And the Book of Mormon, too.

(Chorus #1)

Sharing, ever caring

Touching hearts with gospel light;

Shining, souls refining

Planting seeds of truth and right

Leading and succeeding

Working hard in rain or sun;

Having faith to do His will

And touch the heart of everyone

United in our missionary efforts

United in our missionary pride;

Building friendships that will be eternal

As we're lengthening our stride.

(Chorus #2)

Sharing, ever caring

Touching hearts with gospel light;

Shining, souls refining

Planting seeds of truth and right

Leading and succeeding

Working hard in rain or sun;

Sure love you, we're happy to be here

'Cause Portland's Number One! SUCCESS!
