Prospective missionaries should prepare for the physical and emotional demands of a full-time mission.
- D&C 4:2 - If we are going to serve god with "all" our heart might mind and strength, we need to be in great physical and emotional condition. If we are super over weight, or we have injuries or something like that. Then we cant serve to our full extent. We need to do our best to be in the best shape possible. We are going to do heaps of walking and things all over the place, and we need to be able to do what is asked of us. Physical and emotional preparation before a mission is critical prior to serving.
- D&C 88:124 - This is something i really have a problem with, and its good to learn about it so i can work at it. We need to "cease to sleep longer than is needful" As missionaries it's early to bed early to rise. And i personally need to start doing that now, so it's not such a burden to me when i get into the field. And i think it really is a good practice. Your mind is clear, your alert and ready to go. It makes it easier to be happy and feel the spirit when your not groggy and sleepy.
- Some people just cant go out and serve a full 2 year mission. Some people have certain physical or emotional circumstances that wont permit a 2 year mission. And i feel like its ok. It's sad, but it's ok, the Lord understands. And the church will excuse you from a 2 year mission. Besides that, there is heaps of different ways you can gain those blessings and help other people. Youc an go to the church family history center, work with welfare projects, hospitals homeless shelters, anywhere that needs help. Service is service, and the lord will bless you no matter what kind of service you are doing. We will be blessed and judged on the desires of our hearts. So if we do our part in missionary service, wherever and whenever it may be, we will be blessed
