Adjusting to Missionary Life can also be located in the Gospel Library app under Missionary. It would be great for parents to become familiar with this resource as well. A PDF version is attached.

My Sheep – MTC Talk – Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
This talk was given by Elder
Jeffrey R. Holland in the Missionary Training Center (MTC) on January 11, 2011.
It’s entitled “Feed My Sheep” and was a precursor to the talk that he gave in
General Conference.
What a privilege to be here. I
love being at the MTC. I told these people earlier in a little informal and
inadequate dinner remark that there's nothing I'd rather do, and nowhere I'd
rather be than with Missionaries. And in Missionary service, and in performing
Missionary labor, and doing things with the Missionary department. The
mechanism and the structure that, under the direction of the prophet to call
you on a mission, guide your Mission while you're out there, works with your
Mission Presidents. I want you to have a good experience; provide you with
things like Preach My Gospel and all the other helps that we can give you.

July 13, 2015 Dear Stake HC Missionary Committee --
Good day, brethren. The church has updated it's website and materials for missionary preparation and missionary preparation classes. Would you please take some time to review and discuss how these materials can strengthen and focus our efforts in offering a missionary preparation course at the stake level.
The learning outlines pdf is especially focused on doctrines and topics the stake presidency feels are critical to every person preparing for missionary service:
Missionary purpose
Why I need the Atonement of Jesus Christ
Learn and teach by the Spirit
The role of the Book of Mormon in conversion
Prepare for life as a missionary
We ask that you ensure these doctrines and topics are incorporated into our stake missionary preparation course. Would you please review, update, and share with the stake presidency the stake missionary preparation course and outline after you have had time to sit in counsel and discuss.
