This blog series highlights sisters who served in different missions around the world for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Each sister shares helpful advice on how to prepare for a mission and shares a story about a particular topic. You can read more about these topics in YOMO! You Only Mission Once: A Guide for Sister Missionaries (coming soon!) Sisters also share a challenge they faced, along with what they loved about their mission, and what they learned from their mission.
How to Prepare to Serve a Mission
Sisters, I invite you to check out these interviews and listen to the Spirit to know what advice to focus on. It can be easy sometimes to feel overwhelmed or think you aren’t doing enough to prepare. The main thing you can do to prepare to serve a full-time mission is to nourish your faith and desire to serve, and be willing to follow the Spirit. You are more talented and capable than you realize.
If you want to seek out further advice, I hope these interviews can offer you additional insight and comfort. You can also check out YOMO for further counsel and principles that can bless your life not only on your mission, but on your earthly mission as a daughter of God as well.
Love Yourself and Don’t Compare
Also, remember that we are all unique, beloved daughters of God. Just like no two life stories are the same, no two missions are the exact same. We sisters can rally together about the common challenges and blessings of serving a mission, but we are all different. We each have different strengths and weaknesses.
As a Comparing Queen myself, I struggle with worrying about how I don’t measure up or are different than other women. But our differences are our gifts, and we can help each other with our individual strengths. So I challenge you to love yourself and your unique mission and don’t compare!
