Missionary Work Advice

       I was on Youth.lds.org today and I saw a few great articles and a video that talk about missionary work. The first one is about advice from past missionaries that I found very insightful. Here are a few comments that I really liked from the section on Scripture Study:

• “Read and love the Book of Mormon as much as possible before you leave. It will bring you closer to the Savior than you could imagine!” — Jaxon Peterson, Texas McAllen Mission, 2008–2010

• “Become converted to the Lord long before you leave. Be a Christlike missionary months before you enter the MTC.” — Jeremy Davis

• “Seminary is important!” — Mamie Schultz Coffey

• “Study the scriptures inside and out. And if you’re still in seminary, memorize the scripture mastery scriptures. They also happen to be the missionary scriptures.” — Kim Siever

• “Know the Bible. A lot of people know the Bible and will understand the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon through it.” — James Fraser, Ohio Cincinnati Mission, 2006–2008

     Another article that I liked was directed more towards young men, but a lot of it can be applied to Young Women as well. It was more informational about what to do when preparing for a mission, when you should serve, and other information that I found to be very helpful. 
Now, here are my two favorite articles on missionary work! I thought they were awesome! The first one was for Young Women preparing to serve a mission called Preparing to Serve: Suggestions for Young Women. I love that it was directed towards the girls! This is one of two that I would recommend you read before anything else! The second one is calledDear Future Missionaries. This is also fantastic! I love these two articles because they give advice to future missionaries, especially girls. 
     And finally, here is a great missionary video called Worthy to Be a Voice for God. Watch it! It's really cool, I think. It talks about being worthy to share the gospel to the best of your abilities.

I hope these different links and videos will help you prepare for a mission or learn more about missionary work. Have a great day!:)

P.S.-If you look at my pages, I have a page with all of the links to these articles on one page, and another page with videos for easy access.
