The Merino Wool difference: Merino wool will be your best friend in the cold. It is a much softer wool giving you the warmth you need without the itch. Merino wool is breathable, naturally antimicrobial, and insulates you even when wet!
Layers: Layering will be very important when you serve somewhere cold. You need to make sure your base layers are breathable, and your top layers are removable, so you can take them off as temperatures rise or when you are inside.
Shoes: Make sure to purchase the appropriate amount and styles of shoes. Winter boots should be insulated, comfortable, and waterproof. Proselyting shoes should look good with tights, keep you warm, and look professional.
Don't forget to accessorize! Make sure to bring plenty of gloves, hats, scarves and anything else to keep you nice and toasty!
Rain boots and breathable water shoes are great options for footwear when you are going to a wet climate. When shopping for rain boots, decide wether you like them to be tall, mid-height, or ankle boots.
Waterproof: When we say waterproof we mean it! Most of our coats, jackets and ponchos are made with waterproof materials and include taped seams making them 100% waterproof.
Polyester/Spandex blends are wonderful for wet weather. This material will dry quickly and stay wrinkle free.
Umbrellas: You may simply opt for a hooded poncho that can cover both you and your bag to keep the rain off, or you may want an umbrella as well. Keeping an umbrella on hand will help keep you as dry as possible!
Light layers are your best friend! Light weight short-sleeve tops are going to be wonderful items to include in your wardrobe. Light polyester blends will provide you with a light yet sturdy material that will wash well, stay wrinkle-resistant, and dry quickly if you sweat. Don't sacrifice quality material in the name of saving money. In the long run the "cost per wear" goes down significantly when you invest in sturdy fabrics that will last and last and last.
Are you allowed to wear sandals or open-toe shoes? Some missions allow it! If you are one of those, be sure to still get footwear with a good sole and plenty of arch support. You don't want to be hot and have sore feet.
There are still plenty of sandal options that are closed toe, so if those are your guidelines, don't worry, you can still have a lightweight, breathable option that meets all the standards!

This worksheet allows you to take inventory of what you need to take with you in a very visual & detailed fashion. For someone who likes lists & organization, this is a dream to use!
When filling out your Wardrobe Builder, use the small boxes in-between the skirts & tops as an opportunity to create outfits. i.e. The first top on your list might pair nicely with skirts 1, 2, 4, & 7. It is ok if that top goes with more than just 4...BUT if a particular top does not match with AT LEAST 3 skirts, don't take it!!! It is not worth the space it will take up in your suitcase!

Shoes are the most important thing you'll put on in the morning. The comfort and support they provide (or don't provide) will make all the different in your day.
Here is a snippet of our helpful blog post (Wardrobe Builder) about mission shoes:
To be be honest....I took the worst shoes. Ever. I decided that I didn't want to spend a lot of money on shoes, so I just picked up 4 pairs from Payless (Yes, it kills me to admit it). I wore out 3 of those pairs by the end of my FIRST transfer. We walked so much and worked so hard and I wore them until some women in my ward brought me shoes to church one Sunday cause she had noticed the awful state of my shoes the week before. It was humiliating. Throughout the entirety of my mission, I went through 13 pairs of shoes. Yup, it was a nightmare. I would usually spend what little P-day time we had buying new shoes. I spent way more money buying new shoes on my mission than I would have if I had just bought nice, durable shoes in the first place. Plus, my feet always hurt so bad. I still remember crying myself to sleep because of the pain, and I still suffer from some permanent damage in the my feet because of the shoes I wore. So here is my advice: Spend the money to get good shoes. You need arch support. You need a good thick sole (preferably Rubber or Polyurethane). And you need to have a strap to hold your feet in- most of my foot damage is in the tendon of my big toe from flexing it to keep my shoe on my foot. And if you are serving in a walking mission and/or out of the country, pack an extra pair or two, cause it will be hard (& expensive & time-consuming) to get more while you are out. My recommendation is Dansko.

“Me? A Sister Missionary?” New Era, Mar. 2007, 46–47
I didn’t realize how much I wanted to share the gospel until I signed a contract promising I wouldn’t.
Teaching English in Wuhan, China, was an amazing experience. I had always wanted to go somewhere and do something service oriented, and this was the perfect opportunity. I was part of a volunteer program organized by a college professor. I found that I loved teaching. Even more, I loved getting to know the students, the Chinese teachers, and the other volunteers. But one thing was tough for me.
We signed contracts as we joined the program stating that we couldn’t say anything about religion. If we did we would be sent home. I spent a lot of time thinking about that. I cared a lot about these people. They were my friends now, and they didn’t have the gospel. But I kept my promise.
When I returned to Brigham Young University, however, I found myself thinking that although I had given service, I still had more I wanted to give. I kept thinking how much I would like to teach people the gospel so they could know what I know. I spent a whole semester thinking about applying to serve a full-time mission. I have always wanted to serve, but I needed to know that’s what the Lord wanted me to do.
I received good advice from my brother and my two brothers-in-law, just by speaking with them about their own mission experiences that were so life-changing. And I talked with my dad, because not only is he my dad, but he’s also my home-ward bishop. No one ever made me feel pressured or pushed. They just encouraged me to listen to the Spirit and do what was right.
I fasted. I prayed. I searched my soul. And I listened to general conference. When I heard Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles give his address, “Now Is the Time to Serve a Mission!” it seemed that the Lord was speaking directly to me through him. (See Ensign, May 2006, 87.)
I made the decision to submit my application. I was excited, but I was also a little scared. I think much of the anxiety came from not knowing where I was going to go. My father called me several times up at school, giving me words of encouragement. I think my experience was bringing back memories of his mission, and he had a lot of neat experiences to share.
Even though I was at school, I asked for my call to be sent to my parents’ home in Tempe, Arizona. When the envelope arrived, my dad set up a conference call, so there was my family in Tempe, Tucson, and Mesa. We all sang the hymn “I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go,” and I was definitely wondering where that would be. But as soon as my mom read I was going to Asunción, Paraguay, I felt an overwhelming peace and comfort. I haven’t had a moment’s worry since. I know that’s where the Lord wants me to go, 100 percent. And this time as I go to serve, I don’t have to worry—I can talk about the gospel with everyone I meet.
“With reference to young sister missionaries, there has been some misunderstanding of earlier counsel regarding single sisters serving as missionaries. We need some young women. They perform a remarkable work. They can get in homes where the elders cannot. But it should be kept in mind that young sisters are not under obligation to go on missions. They should not feel that they have a duty comparable to that of young men, but some will wish to go. If so, they should counsel with their bishop as well as their parents.” President Gordon B. Hinckley, “To the Bishops of the Church,” Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, June 2004, 27.

Note: While the responses below and the video above give the female, sister missionary, perspective, a majority of the advice is equally applicable to the young men and future Elders.
I asked my panel of returned sister missionaries: What is a typical “day in the life” of a sister missionary like?
Argentina Neuquen Mission, Laura Daniels
“It was probably similar to life as an Elder: get up at 6:30, get ready, breakfast, personal study, companionship study, testimonies and out to work at 9:30. We would work till about 1:00 and have lunch with one of the members. Then we worked from 2:00 until 9:30 when we’d go home, eat a snack, write in our journals and go to bed at 10:30. The one major difference for a sister, at least where I was, was that Elders weren’t allowed to teach women that were alone so we got a lot of referrals from them. My last area was the whole city overlapping 3 other areas of Elders and our sole purpose was to teach the women that the Elders couldn’t teach. We were always busy there and didn’t have to knock too many doors because of it. That was definitely a blessing of being a sister missionary. My mission president begged for more good sisters that could teach all the women. They are certainly needed!”
Texas, Houston East Spanish Speaking Mission, JoLynn Hansen
“Get up on time. Companion and personal prayer, eat, get ready for the day, companionship study, personal study of scriptures, language, discussions etc. Review schedule again, pack a lunch, Book of Mormon, and pamphlets. You then have companionship prayer before heading out the door. Go to appointments. Knock doors if appointments aren’t there. Talk to everyone. Get chased by a dog, sweat, laugh, cry, feel the spirit, perform service. Eat when you can. More appointments. Home on time. Eat dinner, go through schedule for the next day, make phone calls, companionship prayer, write in journal, personal prayer, set the alarm, lights out!”
New York Utica Mission, Kristin Wardle Sokol
“Looking back it was a wonderful break from this crazy thing called life. It was a refreshing break. While I was serving, each day was a challenge. Being too cold, working too hard or long, being too hungry or too disappointed or tired. Rejection was also a big part of daily life. I also experienced great joy. But a lot of it was very difficult to endure. I wouldn’t have changed a moment of what I experienced, but sisters should know what really awaits them if the serve. Sometimes I even miss tracting. I never thought I’d say that.”
Montana Billings Mission, Wendi Condie
“We had a daily schedule that we followed, but each day was a little different, depending on what we had planned. In the morning we got up at 6:30, got ready, had breakfast, and had at least an hour of study. We had individual prayer and study, and companionship prayer and study. We were out the door by 9:30am and gone until lunch time. We’d be home for an hour for lunch, and then out again until we had a dinner appointment. We spent an hour in a members home for dinner, and then were out again in the evening for a few hours. As sisters, we were required to be home by 8:30pm. and in bed by 10pm. In the morning hours if we didn’t have teaching appointments, we would do some tracting. In the afternoon we often did service, and spent time searching out to less active and “lost” members. Of course some of this was specific to my mission, and each mission is a little different, but the components are the same. Prepare yourself in the morning, and go out seeking and serving others. Occasionally the Spirit would direct us in a different direction than we had planned, and there was always a reason. Listening to the Spirit is the key! Some days were mentally and physically exhausting, without anything seemingly positive occurring, other days put you on a spiritual high because of a wonderful discussion, or a new contact
