Preparation Day Activities

Preparation Day provides missionaries with well-deserved time to prepare themselves for the rest of the week.  They have to do all their shopping, cleaning, letter writing, hair cutting and other chores.   They almost always find time for a little fun. Those who live in the Madrid area also have the opportunity to go to the Temple once every transfer. 

A favorite Preparation Day activity - futbol (soccer)
