The purpose of this guide is to help you understand how to make your ward mission effective and to get up and running quickly.  In missionary work the Holy Spirit is always our guide, so please be mindful if the spirit is guiding you in a different order or direction. In general, doing things in this order is effective. Don't overwhelm yourself; take one thing at a time. Click on the links to see additional information about each of these topics.
