If you have not already done so, acquaint yourself with the missionary program found in "Preach My Gospel." Begin a daily routine of arising no later than 6:30am, having personal prayer and spending an hour in personal study. During your study time, read from the Book of Mormon, which, if you have not read entirely, you should do before entering the MTC. Also, please study the five lessons in chapter three of "Preach My Gospel." You should become familiar with "principles" in each lesson and learn the order in which they are listed. Memorize the scriptures in lesson one. The more you learn the lessons, the better prepared you will be to teach. You should also focus on music and entertainment that will allow you to have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost.
this morning eva and i studied for a whole hour together! we opened with a song and a prayer and then we read d&c 4. today it seemed extra powerful...the words are so much more real and empowering now that im preparing for my mission. next we read the first lesson in preach my gospel, the restoration, and it was wonderful. i love how simple and concise and logical and beautiful it is. i think im gonna love the mission. a lot. :) and eva ended the hour with an example of how to teach it. i decided its kinda a lot to take in as a newbie. but im looking forward to learning how to teach in the best way possible.
when eva came home at the end of her day she was super happy. so i asked her why she was so happy and she said, with a huge smile on her face, "cuz we studied this morning." and it's so so true. scripture study (and obedience) works miracles. :) it makes us happy.
