Hakuna Matata

Oh... oh hey.   This is awkward.   It's been a while.   No excuses.  I suck.  My b.  Let's quit the chit chat and get right down to business.   

I'm in a ward.  In college.  This evening we had a Priesthood appreciation dinner and though I'm not part of the Relief Society Presidency, I got emergency roped into writing a song for the dinner.  

Let us share, shall we?  It's to the tune of The Lion King's "Hakuna Matata"

Chorus:

The Priesthood power!  - What a wonderful phrase! 

The Priesthood power!   - Aint no passin’ craze! 

---------

You hold the Lord’s power - for the rest of your days! 

It’s an honorable...... responsibility! 

The priesthood power....

Person 1: When you were a young deacon - 

Person 2: When you were a young deacooooon!!! 

Person 3: We found your aroma lacked a certain appeal

                  You could clear the chapel after every ordeal

Person 4: You’re a sensitive soul - though you seem thick-skinned

                 But now, we can call you Whenever! - on a whim!!!

Everyone: And ohh the blessings -- Presidency: oh what’s in a blessing?

Everyone: We praise the Lord’s name -- Presidency: Oh what’s in a name?

Everyone: When we need some comfort -- Presidency: What did ya feel???

.............

THE PRIESTHOOD POWER!   - What a wonderful phrase! 

The Priesthood power!  - Ain’t no passin’ craze! 

------

You hold the Lord’s power - for the rest of your days! 

It’s an honorable...... responsibility! 

The Priesthood power! 

Whisper:

The Priesthood - the power,  The Priesthood - the power,

The Priesthood - the power, The Priesthood - the power,

 The Priesthood - the power, The Priesthood - the power,

The Priesthood...

You hold the Lord’s power - for the rest of your days! 

It’s an honorable...... responsibility! 

The priesthood poweeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr....

Yup.  It was cute, it was fun, it was written in half an hour.  

Miss

I'm really grateful that I chose to go to this school.  I would have been miserable if I went to any other place.  I'm grateful that I'm able to give the advice, "Pray about it," and it's not a horrendous joke.  I love seeing the same faces that I see in church in my classes.  I love being in 3 choirs even though one if them is a slight abomination.  I think my ward is wonderful and all three hours are very enriching.  FHE is always a blast and our family is a pretty good size with consistant attendance.

Of couse I miss my ward at home.  The smallness and warmth.  But something that I truly miss is hearing the Sacrament Prayers in Spanish.

It took me forever to find these:

Oh Dios, Padre Eterno, en el nombre de Jesucristo, tu Hijo, te pedimos que bendigas y santifiques este pan para las almas de todos los que participen de él, para que lo coman en memoria del cuerpo de tu Hijo, y testifiquen ante ti, oh Dios, Padre Eterno, que están dispuestos a tomar sobre sí el nombre de tu Hijo, y a recordarle siempre, y a guardar sus mandamientos que él les ha dado, para que siempre puedan tener su Espíritu consigo. Amén.


Oh Dios, Padre Eterno, en el nombre de Jesucristo, tu Hijo, te pedimos que bendigas y santifiques este vino [agua] para las almas de todos los que lo beban, para que lo hagan en memoria de la sangre de tu Hijo, que por ellos se derramó; para que testifiquen ante ti, oh Dios, Padre Eterno, que siempre se acuerdan de él, para que puedan tener su Espíritu consigo. Amén.


I never really realized what a blessing it was to have a multilingual ward until I came here and no one was speaking Spanish, or signing.  Every Sunday I've been aching to hear these prayers in Spanish.  I guess it shouldn't matter, but it's a comfort from home that I'd like to have.
