week 9

How to make a typical day in the life of a missionary

Wake up at 6:30am. Pray. Prepare for the day; eat, shower, get dressed, etc. Pray. Study for 1 hour. Pray. Start proselyting at 10:00am. Knock on doors. Pray that someone listens for more than 30 seconds (repeat as desired). Talk to everyone you see. Call someone who gave you their number; cross their name out because it was a fake number. Eat lunch at some point. Pray. Study with your companion for 1 hour. Pray. Go to an appointment. When they aren't home (or pretend not to be), knock on more doors. Do some service. Pray. Visit some less active members. Eat dinner (possibly at a member's house). Go see some former investigators. Go home and prepare for the next day. Pray. Get some sleep so you can do it again tomorrow.

(Optional, but highly recommended) Let the Spirit guide you, deviating from the above example as prompted. If you do, you will occasionally see: An appointment held. A commitment kept. A life touched. Hearts changed (9 times out of 10, one of the hearts changed will be yours).

It's not easy. But I testify, in the name of Jesus Christ, that it's worth it.

Sincerely,

Elder Huston
