Prepare to share the gospel using Facebook. Facebook is a powerful tool to help us fulfill our missionary purpose online. But it takes preparation so it does not become a distraction. Carefully follow the instructions in the Mission Information to prepare your personal Facebook page so you can use it effectively. Involve your loved ones.
Church-owned smartphones will be provided to all new missionaries who begin their MTC experience on or after July 1, 2023. From that date forward, missionaries will receive a Church-owned smartphone at the MTC and will travel with a device to your mission.
Review the Bicycle Policy. You can choose to order a bike from Society Cycle Works (Sugar Land, Texas) or ship a bike from home to the mission office.
Prepare to be able to drive a mission vehicle. Not all missionaries will drive a car. Driving is a privilege extended by the Mission President. If you are assigned to an area with a car you must qualify to be able to drive the car. Please be sure to take care of all the records required for driving privileges through the missionary portal before you enter the MTC.
