I have
like 20 minutes left so I've been thinking about the things that I researched
(or didn't) before the mission and that yeah, in Peru it is quite a bit different so here is a list of the
things that I wish I knew before the mission.
1. Bring Scriptures In Your Mission Language. Maybe
in the Provo MTC you get your scriptures in your mission language but in Lima,
not so much. You should either bring a little bit of personal money to buy them
yourself from the temple here. Or bring them with you, because the nice leather
scripture here tend to fall apart.
2. Bring your own money to spend. Thankfully I
had some but lots of people didn’t because they heard that they get a P Day allowance
in the Provo MTC. This is not true in Lima and there will be things you need
and want to buy on P Days in Lima. You
can bring the money in the currency of your country and they will change it
without a fee in the MTC. But also keep
a few coins because people love seeing coins from different countries.
3. Should I Study Before The Mission? Yes, you don’t
necessarily need to study the missionary Lessons in chapter 3 of preach my
gospel. Or Study hardcore like you will
in the mission, but to read a few things before, like…
a) Read the Book of Mormon
at least one time all the way through before the mission, and challenge
yourself to read it all again in the short time in the MTC.
b) Read through Chapters 1,
2 and 5 of Preach My Gospel, those are the foundations of the work and will
help a lot in the mission.
c) Read through the
Missionary Handbook at least one time before accepting your call. They are the
rules and guidelines set but the 12 apostles to help you be a better
missionary, and if you don’t want to follow them for 18-24 months it’s better
to just not leave in the mission
That’s it and now I have to leave.
Love You
