Principle - Prospective missionaries should prepare for the physical and emotional demands of a full-time mission.
Doctrine and Covenants 4:2 - This verse talks about how as we embark in the service of God, our missions for example, we need to serve Him with all our heart, might, mind, and strength. It is promised in this verse that if we do these things, we shall stand blameless before God at the last day.
Doctrine and Covenants 88:124 - This scripture was marked in my scriptures with a sidenote that says "Righteous Living." I believe it is a scripture mastery from my junior year in seminary. It is a good scripture that talks about how to live righteously. It says not to be idle, and to not sleep longer than needful, and to get up earl, that we may be invigorated.
Principle - There are alternatives to full-time missionary service for those individuals excused by priesthood leaders because of their physical or emotional circumstance.
Having an older brother who had to be released from his mission for medical reasons, it is good to have read this section in the manual and learn that there are alternatives to a full-time mission due to medical circumstances.
