With 29,000 new missionaries expected to report within the next few months, more prospective missionaries are focusing on ways to help them prepare before they enter the missionary training center.

Missionary preparation classes are offered through local institutes, wards, and YSA stakes.

LDS.org also offers Missionary Preparation Resources for Personal Study. On this page, you’ll find references to do the following:

• Understand basic principles
• Lessons to study on your own
• Ways to act on what you learn

The page also provides suggestions for parents and leaders/teachers.

It also includes learning/teaching outlines for a mission preparation course.
