A few weeks ago, I wrote about
our missionaries, which I would like to do again today. After all, they are our purpose for being in
Chile. Today I would like to explain
about the missionary schedule. The
schedule for Chilean missions is a little different than other missions but
here it is:
7:30—get up, pray, exercise (30
min.), get dressed, 8:00--breakfast
9:30—Personal
study, 10:30—Companion study,
11:30—language study
12:00—go
out for proselyting
1:30—lunch,
3:00—study time
4:00—10:00--proselyting,
10:00-11:00—planning
11:00—once
(dinner), journal writing, prayer, prepare for bed
11:30—bed
Monday
is called preparation day, with a slightly altered schedule which allows for
grocery shopping, laundry, writing home, (hopefully) cleaning house and
occasional activities. On Wednesdays,
missionaries attend district or zone meetings, and of course, church on
Sunday.
This
schedule is highly regimented but when the missionaries follow it, they are
taking the first steps for success.
Obedience is crucial in a missionary`s life for protection, for the best
use of their time, and for the blessings of our Savior.
We
are training missionaries not only for their time here in Chile but also for
their future lives. Hopefully they will
realize the benefits of planning their day, including getting up early and
keeping to a schedule, even it if it isn`t quite as strict.
Our
purpose here in the mission field is to bring people to Christ so they can feel
the joy of learning to know the Savior and being a part of His true
church. Keeping this schedule helps
missionaries serve the Savior in this crucial work.
