"I am excited to invite you to attend the New Orleans Stake Missionary Preparation Course. . . enroll in this Missionary Preparation Course for Church Educational System (CES) credit, or you may attend this class just for fun.
Now, why attend? The prospect of serving a mission can be immensely exciting yet intimidating at times. Perhaps you feel a bit apprehensive. Perhaps you have questions like, 'What is it like being a full time missionary?' 'Where will I go?' 'What spiritual qualities and skills will benefit me?' 'How can I prepare?' Or, perhaps the decision to serve a full time mission for the Lord is still not certain in your mind (or perhaps it is not even on your radar screen!). You may wonder, 'How can I know for myself if serving a mission is what I should do?'"
