Serve With Honor presents practical missionary advice on everything from learning to obey mission rules to overcoming homesickness to getting along with companions. Brother Bott even gives suggestions on how to deal with companions who do not obey rules or who refuse to work. Perfect for young men and women who are about the enter the mission field. It is also a helpful guide for those missionaries currently serving. Makes a great gift!
Here's another book I gave to my neighbor future missionary boy. It was really hard to give up. I still have fantasies that maybe they'll still call me on a mission. Like a secret one, where I go undercover as a mom of a toddler.
When Dale deployed for a year and a half, I thought, "Dude! I could have gone on a mission right now." The being pregnant part ruined the plan, though.
I don't think there are any better books than Brother Bott's for learning about being a missionary. I base this not only on my own uninformed non returned missionary opinion, but on the opinions of those who actually went on missions.
I learned amazing things about myself when reading this book. Life lessons are learned, and not just from serving a mission. There are numerous ways to serve with honor, especially in my home.
