A day, if
even, is all I have left until I’m set apart as a missionary for The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I am so excited! After only a few more
days I will be on my way to Peru, which is still really hard for me to comprehend.
So, the time is ticking away and I still have a few final tips
- Document the journey- take pictures, write in your journal, send home post cards. Serving a mission or exploring anywhere is a once in a life time journey so keep track of it. I hear it’s something you will talk about for the rest of your life.
- Preparetoserve.com was a great resource for me. It has lists of blogs for your mission, videos about the culture in the area you’ll be serving among other things.
- Music- ipod shuffles are great, but you can’t change up the music on them during the eighteen to twenty four months that are serving so flash drives are highly recommended. If you have itunes like me you’ll have to change it to mp3 format and you can look up how to do that for your version of itunes on ask.com. You can find cheap speakers to plug your flash drive into on sites like amazon.
- Another helpful hint for music is that you can download LDS music for free off of the lds.org website and they’ll already be in mp3 format. They have the whole hymn book, children’s hymn book and songs sung at past conferences all for FREE.
- Clothes- start searching as soon as you get your call, because for me they were very difficult to find. I found most success at stores like Kohls, H&M, Coldwater Creek, Talbots, and Sorella Bella
- Shoes- I found mine at DSW and Clarks. I had to go with somewhat less fashionable shoes then I would normally desire because of the amount of walking I will be doing on my mission.
That’s all of the tips I can think of. If I find anymore I
will be sure to post them at a later time. Good luck to you all!
