Preparing Spiritually

1. Pray regularly and learn to recognize and follow the impressions of the Holy Ghost.
2. Read and study The Book of Mormon and Preach My Gospel every day. 
3. Memorize favorite scriptures.
4. Keep yourself worthy. Practice obeying and repenting daily. If past sins weigh you down, talk with your bishop now. He will help you. Develop a habit of sincere daily repentance. This will help you grow and give you confidence to move forward.
5. Memorize our missionary purpose, as found on the first page of Preach My Gospel.

Preparing Physically

1. Exercise in an enjoyable way at least 30 minutes every day. Get your heart rate up. 
2. Eat balanced meals. Gather and practice making recipes that are simple, healthy,  to prepare, that you like to eat, and that make you feel good.
3. The transition to missionary life is eased if you become acclimated to the schedule before you arrive. Begin following the missionary sleep schedule, going to bed early and waking early.

1. Read and become familiar with “Adjusting to Missionary Life”. Learn to recognize how you react to stress. As a missionary, you will need to manage stress in ways that are consistent with mission rules. Find what works for you.
2.  Reduce your use of technology, start talking with more people, and learn how to have conversations about the Gospel.
