The Missionary Ten Commandments!

The Missionary Ten Commandments!

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me; send all of thy Pok'e'mon, Yugi'oh, Magic: The Gathering, or any other cards home.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images of the assistants, nor of any person in the mission leadership, whether now, nor in the past, neither shalt thou aspire to leadership. Thou shalt not follow blindly the apostate traditions of your fathers, that they should not be passed down to the third and fourth generations.
3. Thou shalt not call elders or sisters by nicknames, their first names, or by their surnames alone, but by Elder or Sister and their surnames. For the mission president will not hold him guiltless in the final interview who calls other missionaries by thier first name.
4. Remember Preparation Day to do thy laundry and thy shopping. Six days shalt thou proselyte and do all thy service, but the preparation day is set forth by your mission president for these things. Rememver also to look for opportunities throughout the day to find people to teach, but thou shalt teach them in the other six days, for in six days shalt thou set and keep all of thy appointments.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother, and write them weekly that thy packages may be large and arrive often.
6. Thou shalt not kill the beasts of the field with thy vehicles, neither shalt thou wield firearms of any kind.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery; lock thine heart and send the key home.
8. Thou shalt not steal thy companion's food.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy companion in thy president's letters; neither shalt thou include negative or offensive comments about the areas in which thou dost serve in thy emails home.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy companions ties; thou shalt not covet thy companions shoes, nor their camera, nor their packages, nor their girlfriend/boyfriend, nor their bicycle, nor any thing that is thy companion's.
Heed these commandments and keep them well!
