Sunday we issued the
girls actual mission calls and from Sunday to Wednesday they had to
research it and learn a little about it. Starting 9:00pm on Tuesday
night, they had to act the part of a missionary. I.E.: go to bed at
10:30, up by 6:am to start personal
scripture study and 15 min of exercise time, then they had to be
dressed like a missionary all day at school (INCLUDING NYLONS!!!) We
also had the local sister missionaries come and talk about life as a
sister missionary. We handed out Books of Mormon that they had to find
someone between Sun-Wed to give it to with their testimony in it. They
came prepared on Wednesday night with stories of how it all went, and
a display of something from their place and a small treat to share
that was native to their country. It was a great night with a great
turn out.
Missionary Report
Sheet
For your missionary experience, we ask that you abide by mission rules
beginning Tuesday evening when you go to sleep. Throughout the day on
Wednesday we wish for you to dress, act, and
be
a missionary. Please abide by mission rules (i.e. no TV, no radio,
internet, etc.) as you go normally about your day.
You will be asked to
give a copy of the
Book of Mormon to someone during the day, whether it
be a friend, an acquaintance, or someone
you meet outside of school. You will then report your experience of
sharing the gospel on Wednesday evening.
In
addition, you are to
research a little
bit about the country in which you have been assigned to serve.
Please complete this form so you can tell us a little about your
particular mission on Wednesday.
Feel free to bring decorations of some sort (i.e. a flag, an article
of clothing, pictures, a map with your mission indicated, etc.), as
well as an
item of food that is unique to your mission to share
with others.
