59: What I Wish I Had Taught My Missionary Before They Left
Manage episode 467052207 series 3545146
Sending a missionary out is exciting, but there are always things we realize after they leave that we wish we had covered. In this episode, I’m sharing what I missed and what I got right before sending my missionaries into the field—so you can prepare yours just a little better.
From cooking basics (trust me, pasta isn’t as foolproof as you’d think!) to packing food for long days, to the importance of reading scriptures out loud, I’m giving you all the small but essential things that will make your missionary’s transition smoother. Plus, I’ll share a few game-changing tips—like sending them with familiar spices and teaching them how to repair their suit pants (because somehow, they always split at the thighs).
And most importantly, I want you to know: Whatever you feel as you send them off—excitement, anxiety, overwhelm—it’s all valid. You’re not alone in this journey.
Resources & Takeaways:
✔️ Teach your missionary how to cook staple foods: pasta, rice, eggs, and meat.
✔️ Show them how to pack food for long days outside the apartment.
✔️ Practice basic sewing—because pants will rip!
✔️ Send them with familiar spices to make food taste like home.
✔️ Have them read scriptures out loud to strengthen confidence and pronunciation.
✔️ Write handwritten letters—they mean more than you think.
If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow missionary mom! And tag me—I’d love to hear how you’re preparing your missionary.
💛 You’ve got this, and you’re not alone. See you next week!
