Custom Journal

Check out our 5-in-1 journal designed to inspire missionaries to record memories through unique prompts, personal goals, companionship memorabilia, and much more to reflect upon for years to come!

Embrace your sacred memories. Believe them. Write them down.

Elder Neil L.

Andersen

Inspiration Calendar

With the large amounts of daily rejection, a powerful quote or scripture can give missionaries the strength to press on. Imagine the spiritual power that 366 days worth of quotes can bring to your missionary as they serve the Lord!

If we listen to the voices of the world, we will be misled. But if we listen to the voice of the Lord through His living prophet and follow his counsel, we will never go astray.

Themed Socks

Imagine scriptures, temples, and gospel art on socks! Socks are among the few ways elders can express themselves through dress. As they look better, they’ll feel better. And as they feel better, they’ll work better!

Our dress will be modest, our thoughts pure, our language clean.

Elder Robert D.

Hales

Country Rings

A bit of pride in the country or state missionaries serve is healthy, especially when adapting to a new culture. Country rings are a great way for missionaries to show the locals their love for the land they serve, and a great gem to keep years after the mission.

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mark

16:15

Gospel Art

While missionaries spend most of their time outside the apartments, they start and end the day inside them. Gospel art that missionaries can carry from apartment to apartment will help them bring spiritual power wherever they reside.

Art can transmit a message of hope, light, and truth anchored in Jesus Christ.

Scripture Highlighters

Some of the best studying I’ve done on my mission was when I could highlight the scriptures I wanted to remember for myself or the people I taught. These tools will help missionaries stay organized, and bring more enjoyment to the studying experience.

We talk to God through prayer. He often communicates back to us through his written word.

Elder Richard G.

Scott

Missionary Bags

With the amount of manuscripts, pass-along cards, planners, and books missionaries often carry, bags are a must. A new and durable missionary bag can ease the load missionaries have to carry, literally!

The Lord has never required expert, flawless missionary efforts. Instead, "the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind."

Elder Dieter F.

Uchtdorf

Gospel Book

Most missionaries have a lot of downtime during P-days. If your elder or sister is a reader, a gospel book can be a great way to spend their time. This also can be a refreshing break from all the manuals they read.

Know the doctrine of Christ so that you understand its power for your life.

President Russell M.

Nelson

Accessories for Sisters

Bracelets or necklaces are a great way to send love to your sister missionary. A little bit of modest jewelry is a great way for sisters to feel confident and beautiful.

Missionary work is a manifestation of our spiritual identity and heritage.

Elder David A.

Bednar

Mini Christmas Tree

Christmas can be one of the hardest times for missionaries away from home. A small Christmas tree can have a surprisingly big impact as they experience the Christmas spirit missionaries crave around December.

The spirit of Christmas is Christlike love.
