Preparation Day is a unique time for a Mormon missionary. When most people think of free time, they think of all the hours in a day–every day–they’re not at school or work. Missionaries, however, only have a handful of hours on one day a week to do things for themselves.

Elder Garrett obeyed the rules on all days including P-Day, getting up at the right time and getting all his chores and work done. Even with this diligent behavior, his desires always got the better of him.
