When is p day for missionaries

Hiked three hours to a cool waterfall in the jungle on the coast of Guatemala with our district missionaries. That one did end up back at the mission president for some reason. They were still reading them when we crossed back into Guate. Maybe we changed a life??? Since I was into Mayan ruins, we made a day-long trip across the country. So we went.

When I looked at the guest signbook at the site, there were a couple of general authorities signatures and all the office elders. I signed my name in real big letters. Let me tell you, I was a good, solid hard-working elder. But our president let us see movies on p-days, and we did some fun zone activites, too. Heck, we climbed a volcano with lava, with our entire zone one p-day. The Living Christ. Email Address:.

The introductory meeting with the mission president lasted an hour or two. He inspired and uplifted us, shared some scriptures, and reviewed the mission rules, both those in the printed missionary handbook and one specific to the Rosario Mission. One of the mission-specific rules was regarding p-day. In the missionary handbook, it said to use preparation day to see cultural and historical sites in the countries where you serve.

The mission president told us that there were not many sites worth seeing in our area, therefore he was cutting p-day short by two hours. I still had plenty of time to do my shopping, write my letters home, and I even got to play basketball a few times. I hope you future missionaries remember to make good use of your preparation day.

By making wise use of your time on this day, you will be better prepared throughout the week to do the work of the Lord. Are missionaries allowed to write to their friends on their p day?
