Mission Prep
Future missionaries can prepare spiritually by studying the scriptures daily, especially the Book of Mormon, developing a strong personal testimony, and learning to recognize the Holy Ghost's guidance. Practical preparation includes learning basic life skills, staying physically healthy, and saving money for your mission. Regular temple attendance, where possible, strengthens spiritual readiness.
Supporting a future missionary makes a tremendous difference. You can help by including them in teaching experiences, inviting them to share their testimony, and assisting with mission expenses. Writing encouraging letters to current missionaries, sharing mission experiences, and including prospective missionaries in family scripture study and prayers are powerful ways to show support. Together, we can help prepare the next generation of missionaries to share God's light with the world.
My Mission Experience
"Serving as a visitor center missionary was an incredible blessing. Each day, I had the privilege of helping people discover their family history and feel the Spirit as they connected with their ancestors. Serving at the Tree Center, I witnessed countless tender mercies as visitors uncovered their roots and felt the joy that comes from connecting generations. Through helping others find their family history, I discovered that Heavenly Father knows each of His children personally and has a perfect plan to unite families eternally."

"Serving at the Historic Kirtland Visitors' Center was a sacred privilege. Every day, I walked the same grounds where the early Saints lived and sacrificed for their faith. As I shared stories of the Restoration with visitors, I felt the Spirit testify of these truths in powerful ways. Teaching about Joseph Smith, the School of the Prophets, and the revelations received in Kirtland helped me understand that God continues to guide His church today just as He did then. My testimony of the Restoration grew deeper with each opportunity to witness how the Spirit touched visitors' hearts in this holy place."
