Health of Missionaries

Elder Bennett and I learned much about taking care of the health of the missionaries in our area! Just a few tidbits out of the many many things we talked about today- this isn’t the cure for everything but just a few ideas!

Sleeping Well-  Exercise, eat well and go to sleep and get up on time.   

Dental health – Eat Healthy and no Red Bull drinks. Brush and floss every day!

Mental Health - “If this magic button could get rid of all of your stress would you push it?  Then ask the person what are his stresses.  He’ll probably answer job, family, church, etc. Then ask him if he would like to press the button and take away everything that causes him stress? He will most likely say no. And then he needs to be taught that stress is the price we pay for a meaningful life. 

The Lord’s way to help someone is to give him tools and to do it with love. The world’s way is always a hand out and everything is free- you don’t have to work for anything. Christ’s way is to say,  “I’m not going to lift weights for you but I’m going to make sure you have the right weights so that you can lift them and succeed.

Another thought – Immaturity is when you want to grow without experience

Mosiah 4:27 - “And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.”
