1) comfort items. Every night
when i come home from the work I wrap myself in a blanket and hug my
stuff dog it makes me feel more comfortable and makes me feel more at
home.
2) Extra money. You have to buy
all cleaning materials,food for amonth, and personal hygene products,
money goes by FAST!!! So have extra money to help for at least the first
few months
3) love everyone and be careful
what you say to others. There was a sister missionary that was in my
area a year ago and i cant tell you how many times a day i hear about
her and how much hurt she did to the area and the ward. Be careful what
you say.
4) have pictures of family and friends. It reminds you that you have people loving and supporting you.
5) become friends with the ward
members and the other missionaries. My district is like my family i
have 3 sisters, 8 brothers, and 4 grandparents.
6) Your area and companion are
very very inspired. You might not like your copmanion or area but i know
it is inspired by god to the mission president.
7) Have dog treats. Theres tons
of scary mean dogs in peoples front yards and on the loose keep dog
treats so that the dog will warm up to you and like you. and you can get
to the door.
8) you somtimes get a car but
even with a car walk!!!! People see you and if their doing something
outside its easier to approach them and talk to them. And ward members
see you and respect you for walking.
New Mexico Albuquerque mission specifically and other missions
1) bring chap stick, lotion,
sunscreen, and a water bottle. New Mexico is HOT and VERY DRY be
prepared. I have to put lotion on multiple times a day due to how dry it
is.
2) bring multiple shoes for meetings and tracting and swtich shoes every day.
3) bring church cds and movies.
church cds for the car. And then the movies that can help teach
investigators such as mormon messages and doctorine covenents videos
that can help with investigators. And if your in my area where theres
NOTHING to do on p days and the other missionaries are far away where we
dont have
the miles to hang out togther.
the miles to hang out togther.
4) bring tons of deoderent and
perfume. After all day of walking in a deseret you pretty much smell and
need those things to help.
5) clothing is not as strict as
it seems go to the website for ideas. T shirt materials are ALLOWED!!!!
I wish i knew that before i came out on the mission.
6) get a priesthood blessing
every transfer from your district leader or zone leaders. it really
helps to get the guidance from the lord and the elders are really happy
to do that for you.
7) read your patriartical blessing often i have found loads of things that were hidden that are about my mission
8)http://www.lds.org/training/wwlt/2013/hastening/special-broadcast?lang=eng
Watch the special broadcast its amazing i have never felt the spirit so
strong during any broadcast. and well bring the world its truth is the
best i never cried so much literally. Espically when they were showing
the missionaries getting their mission calls, being set apart, saying
goodbye to their families to the mtc, and then of course being on the
mission field
