Senior Missions: What to Expect and How to Prepare

Part big-sister pep talk, part logistical checklist, Senior Missions demystifies the senior couple mission experience. Marnae B. Wilson, a veteran of missions on three continents, answers the practical questions couples are afraid to ask—from filling out the application and managing finances to packing two suitcases, navigating culture shock, and keeping a marriage healthy while serving together. Reassuring, funny, and specific, it removes the fear and excuses that keep retirement-age Latter-day Saints from answering the prophet's repeated call for more senior missionaries.

• The prophet has repeatedly begged for thousands more senior couples—this book removes every excuse not to go
• A candid 'big sister' who has served on three continents tells you what the official pamphlets won't
• Practical answers to the questions couples are too embarrassed to ask—from garments in humid climates to guarding your credit card abroad
• Turns the terrifying unknown of a senior mission into an exciting, doable adventure

Perfect for a retirement-age Latter-day Saint couple prayerfully considering a senior mission and wanting honest, practical answers before they apply.
