The Law of Chastity:
Keeping ourselves sexually
pure
“Satan has led many people to believe that
sexual intimacy outside of marriage is
acceptable. But in God’s sight, it is a serious
sin…The prophet Alma taught that sexual
sins are more serious than any other sins
except murder and denying the Holy Ghost
(Alma 39:3–5)…Heavenly Father has given us
the law of chastity for our protection.
Obedience to this law is essential to
personal peace and strength of character
and to happiness in the home. As you keep
yourself sexually pure, you will avoid the
spiritual and emotional damage that always
come from sharing physical intimacies with
someone outside of marriage.” (True to the
Faith, p. 29)

Faith in God and Christ
Sorrow for committing the sin
Confession
Abandonment of Sin
Restitution

• See True to the Faith p. 132

• “Attempts to create a list of specific steps of repentance
may be helpful to some, but it may also lead to a
mechanical, check-off-the-boxes approach with no real
feeling or change. True repentance is not superficial.”

Being Physically Prepared
• Missionaries are expected to be
physically capable of working all day
• This could mean walking or riding a bike
several miles a day for six days a week
• If you have a physical disability, injury, or
illness that might limit your ability to do
this work, discuss it with your bishop
• In most cases there will still be ways for
you to serve a full-time mission
• Though where and how you serve may be
restricted

• Monthly allowance according to needs
• Covered: food, housing, transportation, etc.
• Not Covered: souvenirs and other extras

Emotional Demands of
Missionary Service
• Speaking to future
missionaries, Elder L. Tom Perry
explained:
• “Missionary service is emotionally
demanding. Your support system is
going to be withdrawn from you as
you leave home and go out into the
world. … There will be days of
rejection and disappointment. Learn
now about your emotional
limits, and learn how to control your
emotions under the circumstances
you will face as a missionary.”

Dealing with Discouragement
and Stress
• Ammon and his brothers, some
of the greatest missionaries in
the scriptures, got discouraged.
• “Now when our hearts were depressed, and we
were about to turn back, behold, the Lord
comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy
brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience
thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.”

Young Men:
Oh, how the Lord needs you!
“We need you. Oh, how the Lord needs you!
… My plea to you this morning for leadership
has never been more critical in The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints than it is
today. I now understand abundantly why the
prophets have said that the Lord reserved for
this last day some of his very choice spiritual
sons and daughters. I understand why you
have been reserved to come forth now:
because he needs you. He needs you
desperately in the building of his kingdom.”

President Kimball’s Landmark
Address on Missionary Work

“The question has been often asked, Is the
mission program one of compulsion? And the
answer, of course, is no. Everyone is given his
free agency. The question is asked: Should
every young man fill a mission? And the answer
of the Church is yes, and the answer of the
Lord is yes. Enlarging this answer we say:
Certainly every male member of the Church
should fill a mission, like he should pay his
tithing, like he should attend his meetings, like
he should keep his life clean and free from the
ugliness of the world and plan a celestial
marriage in the temple of the Lord.”

Abundant Life

immediately, all worthy and able young
men who have graduated from high school
or its equivalent, regardless of where they
live, will have the option of being
recommended for missionary service
beginning at the age of 18, instead of age
19. I am not suggesting that all young men
will—or should—serve at this earlier age.
Rather, based on individual
circumstances, as well as upon a
determination by priesthood leaders, this
option is now available.”

Missionaries Are Called by
God
• Elder Ronald A. Rasband explains how missionaries
are called by God through our prophets

• "First, we knelt together in prayer."
• Next "a picture of the missionary to be assigned would
come up on one of the computer screens. "
• Then they "study the comments from the bishops and
stake presidents, medical notes, and other issues relating
to each missionary."
• Next, they view "another screen which displayed areas
and missions across the world.”
• “Finally, as he was prompted by the Spirit, he would assign
the missionary to his or her field of labor."

• “It is by the great love of the Savior that His servants
know where these wonderful … missionaries are to
serve. I had a further witness that morning that
every missionary called in this Church, and assigned
or reassigned to a particular mission, is called by
revelation from the Lord God Almighty.”

day they will receive their call in the mail

• Sorry, but exactly predicting this is not possible

• Day of the week the apostles meet
• In most weeks, it is on Friday, but it can vary
• Thursdays are the second most common day

• Day the mission call letter gets mailed
• Usually the call packets leave the Church mail
room on Tuesday
• Variation is due to individual missionary or
mission circumstances, holiday schedules, etc.

• Those living in or near Utah usually receive
the call packet on Wednesday

I Will Go Where You Want Me to
Go
When you submit mission papers, you
commit to going wherever the Lord sends
you
It may not be on the mountain height
Or over the stormy sea,
It may not be at the battle’s front
My Lord will have need of me.
But if, by a still, small voice he calls
To paths that I do not know,
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine:
I’ll go where you want me to go.
I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,
Over mountain or plain or sea;
I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;
I’ll be what you want me to be.

“The Lord knows where He
wants each missionary to
serve.” Spain:
• Story of Elder Misiego, from Madrid,
• “We have a Father in Heaven, who knows us—our
strengths and weaknesses, our abilities and potential.
He knows which mission president and companions
and which members and investigators we need in order
to become the missionary, the husband and father, and
the priesthood holder we are capable of becoming.
Prophets, seers, and revelators assign missionaries
under the direction and influence of the Holy Ghost.
Inspired mission presidents direct transfers every six
weeks and quickly learn that the Lord knows exactly
where He wants each missionary to serve.”

35
Patriarchal Blessings:
“A Star to Follow”
“Patriarchal blessings should be read
humbly, prayerfully, and frequently. …It is a
sacred guideline of counsel, promises, and
information from the Lord; however, a
person should not expect the blessing to
detail all that will happen to him or her or to
answer all questions. The fact that one’s
patriarchal blessing may not mention an
important event in life, such as a mission or
marriage, does not mean that it will not
happen. In order to receive the fulfillment of
our patriarchal blessings, we should treasure
in our hearts the precious words they
contain, ponder them, and so live that we
will obtain the blessings.”

What to do to Prepare to
Receive the Melchizedek
• Gain a testimony ofPriesthood
the restoration of the
priesthood
• Study D&C 84, “a revelation on priesthood”

• Particularly the oath and covenant (v33–44)
• “For whoso is faithful unto the obtaining these
two priesthoods of which I have spoken, and the
magnifying their calling, are sanctified by the
Spirit unto the renewing of their bodies… And
this is according to the oath and covenant which
belongeth to the priesthood.”

• Learn the duties of an elder

• D&C 20:38–45, 42:44, 46:2, 107:11–12

• Learn how to perform priesthood ordinances
and blessings
• See Church Handbook 2 or the Family Guidebook

38
Preparing to Go to the
Temple
• Before young men and women go on a
mission, they receive the temple endowment
• Usually, this happens after your call is received

• President Howard W. Hunter taught, “Let us
prepare every missionary to go to the temple
worthily and to make that experience an even
greater highlight than receiving the mission
call” (Ensign, Nov. 1994, 88).
• How can you prepare?
• Live worthily
• Take the Church Temple Preparation class from
your ward or stake called Endowed from on High
• Read the Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple
Church booklet

Missionaries go to the Temple to
be Endowed with Power from on
High
• “Going to the temple for your own endowment… *is+
an integral part of your mission preparation …You
cannot do this work alone. We have to have heaven’s
help, we have to have the ‘gifts’ of God… This work is
so serious and the adversary’s opposition to it so
great that we need every divine power to enhance
our effort and move the Church steadily forward”
(Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Apr. 25, 1997).

• “Missionaries …are not fully qualified to go forth,
preach the gospel, and build up the kingdom, unless
they have the gift of the Holy Ghost and also are
endowed with power from on high…*that is+ given
only in the Lord’s Temple… [The Lord] said this was
so that they could go out with greater power from
on high and with greater protection” (Elder Bruce R.
McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary)

Speaking in Sacrament
Meeting
• All departing missionaries are asked to speak in sacrament

meeting prior to entering the mission field.
• In 2002, President Hinckley announced that the tradition of
turning sacrament meeting over to the family of the
departing missionary needed to stop.
• “The departing missionary will be given opportunity to
speak in a sacrament meeting for 15 or 20 minutes. But
parents and siblings will not be invited to do so. There might
be two or more departing missionaries who speak in the
same service. The meeting will be entirely in the hands of
the bishop and will not be arranged by the family.”

41
Writing and Delivering a Talk
• Impromptu sacrament meeting talks are a common request of
missionaries
• Knowing how to write and deliver a talk is an essential skill
• Four elements a sacrament meeting talk should have:

• Purpose: “Once a person has the purpose, the rest of the talk is easy.”
An example purpose statement might be: “The purpose of my talk is to
teach people how to recognize the power of faith in their own lives.”
• Main Ideas: You will need two or three main ideas that support this
purpose. One might be “Faith is the very motivating power that enables
us to act.” Another main idea might be “I can increase faith by
recognizing it in my life.”
• Expansion: You can expand or validate the main ideas with
stories, scriptures, or examples of faith (or whatever the topic is) in
your life.
• Testimony: Always end your talk by bearing testimony. “I would
honestly evaluate how strongly I feel about the principle I am teaching
and then testify about that principle.”
• See article in BYU Magazine by Randy Bott called How to Write a
Church Talk

Being Set Apart as a
Missionary
• The stake president sets apart all
missionaries
• A missionary is set apart as close as possible
to his or her departure date (usually a day or
two prior to entering the MTC)
• Before a missionary is set apart, the stake
president conducts an interview to confirm
the missionary’s worthiness
• The setting apart should be a special
occasion where family members and close
friends may attend.
• After being set apart, he or she is a
missionary and should live by missionary
standards

Several hundred new missionaries arrive each Wednesday
One vehicle per family is allowed to enter the MTC grounds
Say goodbye’s to family and friends prior to arrival at the MTC
You will only have a few brief moments for a quick farewell
There is no opportunity for picture taking at this moment

Russell Ballard, The Greatest Generation of Missionaries Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 17
  • 18. Young Men: Oh, how the Lord needs you! “We need you. Oh, how the Lord needs you! … My plea to you this morning for leadership has never been more critical in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints than it is today.

I understand why you have been reserved to come forth now: because he needs you. He needs you desperately in the building of his kingdom.” -M. Russell Ballard, You—the Leaders in 1988 Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 18

  • 20. President Kimball’s Landmark Address on Missionary Work “The question has been often asked, Is the mission program one of compulsion? And the answer, of course, is no. Everyone is given his free agency. The question is asked: Should every young man fill a mission? And the answer of the Church is yes, and the answer of the Lord is yes. Enlarging this answer we say: Certainly every male member of the Church should fill a mission, like he should pay his tithing, like he should attend his meetings, like he should keep his life clean and free from the ugliness of the world and plan a celestial marriage in the temple of the Lord.” -Spencer W. Kimball, Planning for a Full and Abundant Life Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 20

  • 28. Missionaries Are Called by God • Elder Ronald A. Rasband explains how missionaries are called by God through our prophets • "First, we knelt together in prayer." • Next "a picture of the missionary to be assigned would come up on one of the computer screens. " • Then they "study the comments from the bishops and stake presidents, medical notes, and other issues relating to each missionary." • Next, they view "another screen which displayed areas and missions across the world.” • “Finally, as he was prompted by the Spirit, he would assign the missionary to his or her field of labor." • “It is by the great love of the Savior that His servants know where these wonderful … missionaries are to serve. I had a further witness that morning that every missionary called in this Church, and assigned or reassigned to a particular mission, is called by revelation from the Lord God Almighty.” • The Divine Call of a Missionary, April 2010 Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 28
  • 29. Day of the Week Mission Calls are Issued and Mailed Out • Many missionaries want to know the exact day they will receive their call in the mail • Sorry, but exactly predicting this is not possible • Day of the week the apostles meet • In most weeks, it is on Friday, but it can vary • Thursdays are the second most common day • Day the mission call letter gets mailed • Usually the call packets leave the Church mail room on Tuesday • Variation is due to individual missionary or mission circumstances, holiday schedules, etc. • Those living in or near Utah usually receive the call packet on Wednesday Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 29
  • 30.

  • 31. I Will Go Where You Want Me to Go When you submit mission papers, you commit to going wherever the Lord sends you It may not be on the mountain height Or over the stormy sea, It may not be at the battle’s front My Lord will have need of me. But if, by a still, small voice he calls To paths that I do not know, I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine: I’ll go where you want me to go. I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, Over mountain or plain or sea; I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord; I’ll be what you want me to be. • Hymns, no. 270 Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 31
  • 32. “The Lord knows where He wants each missionary to serve.” Spain: • Story of Elder Misiego, from Madrid, • “We have a Father in Heaven, who knows us—our strengths and weaknesses, our abilities and potential. He knows which mission president and companions and which members and investigators we need in order to become the missionary, the husband and father, and the priesthood holder we are capable of becoming. Prophets, seers, and revelators assign missionaries under the direction and influence of the Holy Ghost. Inspired mission presidents direct transfers every six weeks and quickly learn that the Lord knows exactly where He wants each missionary to serve.” • The Opportunity of a Lifetime, W. Christopher Waddell Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 32
  • 33. Frequent Interviews with Priesthood Leaders • Bishops and Stake Presidents are encouraged to have frequent interviews with the prospective missionary throughout this process. Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 33

  • 36. Patriarchal Blessings: “A Star to Follow” “Patriarchal blessings should be read humbly, prayerfully, and frequently. …It is a sacred guideline of counsel, promises, and information from the Lord; however, a person should not expect the blessing to detail all that will happen to him or her or to answer all questions. The fact that one’s patriarchal blessing may not mention an important event in life, such as a mission or marriage, does not mean that it will not happen. In order to receive the fulfillment of our patriarchal blessings, we should treasure in our hearts the precious words they contain, ponder them, and so live that we will obtain the blessings.” • From Priesthood Blessings by James E. Faust Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 36
  • 37.

We have to have heaven’s help, we have to have the ‘gifts’ of God… This work is so serious and the adversary’s opposition to it so great that we need every divine power to enhance our effort and move the Church steadily forward” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Apr. 25, 1997). • “Missionaries …are not fully qualified to go forth, preach the gospel, and build up the kingdom, unless they have the gift of the Holy Ghost and also are endowed with power from on high…*that is+ given only in the Lord’s Temple… [The Lord] said this was so that they could go out with greater power from on high and with greater protection” (Elder Bruce R. McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary) Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 40

But parents and siblings will not be invited to do so. There might be two or more departing missionaries who speak in the same service.

Writing and Delivering a Talk • Impromptu sacrament meeting talks are a common request of missionaries • Knowing how to write and deliver a talk is an essential skill • Four elements a sacrament meeting talk should have: • Purpose: “Once a person has the purpose, the rest of the talk is easy.” An example purpose statement might be: “The purpose of my talk is to teach people how to recognize the power of faith in their own lives.” • Main Ideas: You will need two or three main ideas that support this purpose. One might be “Faith is the very motivating power that enables us to act.” Another main idea might be “I can increase faith by recognizing it in my life.” • Expansion: You can expand or validate the main ideas with stories, scriptures, or examples of faith (or whatever the topic is) in your life. • Testimony: Always end your talk by bearing testimony. “I would honestly evaluate how strongly I feel about the principle I am teaching and then testify about that principle.” • See article in BYU Magazine by Randy Bott called How to Write a Church Talk • And don’t forget to stay within the time given you Temporal and Spiritual Prep The Mission Call Process Getting Ready to Go 42
