Stay calm ♥ Eat your vegetables ♥ Don't bite your
nails ♥ Wear clean underwear ♥ Smile ♥ Be patient
with the elders ♥ but beat them at everything ♥
♥ Stay at arm's lenght ♥ Stand up straight ♥ Say your
prayers ♥ Keep a crowbar in your purse ♥ Write home
♥ Read your scriptures ♥ Carry a hanky ♥ Beware
of dogs ♥ Brush your teeth ♥ Floss ♥ Lock your door
♥ Love your companion ♥ Give a firm handshake ♥
Cry when you need to ♥ Laugh at yourself ♥ Write
in your journal ♥ Expect miracles ♥ Get enough sleep ♥
(Good night Sleep tight ♥ We love you ♥)



If I were to be so bold as to add my comments:
-Instead of a crowbar (carrying anything heavy is a dumb idea!) carry a plastic bag everywhere. You never know when you'll need one.
-Don't pick up the phone past 11.30pm. No good thing will come of it.
-Love your companion - and love all other missionaries too.
-Cry when you need to - especially with your companion. Nothing clears air like a good companionship cry.
-Expect miracles - and record them.
