The day of an LDS missionary has an outline for you to follow. The morning starts at 6:30 or before, you work out for 30 min, eat breakfast and get ready for the day by 8:00. At 8:00 you start your studies which consist of a small library of books, including the Holy Bible, and The Book of Mormon: Another testament of Jesus Christ. Then at 9:00 you start companion study. In companion study you talk about the things you learned from the spirit in your personal studies and then read from the scriptures fort he remaining time. Companion study is over at 10:00 at which time you go out and start teaching and serving in every way you can. You can take an hour for lunch and dinner and additional study time.You work until 9:00 pm unless teaching then by 9:30, plan for the next day and prepare for bed. Your in bed by 10:30 pm. following this schedule has helped me be the most effective in representing Christ and teaching others about him. This is one of my last days as a full time representative of Jesus Christ, and I want all to know that I love him. I know he is real and that he suffered for our sins so that we can have the glorious opportunity to return to live with our heavenly father! I plead with everyone who reads this post, even if your a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, to please read The Book of Mormon, compare it with the Bible, and then pray and ask God if what it teaches is true. I know that that book was written with the intent to bring all souls to Christ who is our Savior and Redeemer! If you believe in Christ, you will believe in the words the book teaches. Please give it a chance and read it, then ask God if it is right. Please when you see two young men with white shirts, ties, slacks and a name tag with, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on it, and both their names are Elder, stop them and ask them for a copy of the book. Ask them questions that your preachers cant answer, give them time to talk and study your question and they will answer it. I know this is the church of Jesus Christ. What ever you do, how ever you are serving now, please keep serving with all your heart! Put your very best into it and God will make up for the places where we lack. I know this is true, God loves us! He cares about the little things we do as well as the big. I find comfort in the scripture from the book of Luke, Luke 12:6-7 "6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
A fun, exciting, and always uplifting blog post leaves you better than you were when you first got on the internet! Comments and questions welcome.

The End Draws Nigh!
If you like helping others then the life of a missionary would be a perfect one for you! I have absolutely loved being a full time representative of Jesus Christ. Becoming a missionary is a very special calling to have, because you are called to represent Jesus Christ and help others follow his example. This is a very big calling to fulfill so to help us become more like the Savior we have times set aside to help us study him and his teachings to try our best to act as he would. By using these times I have grown in more ways that I thought I ever could. I understand when God is moving more now than I have in the rest of my life.
