<h2>Choosing the Right Time</h2><p>Your availability date is the earliest date you will be available to begin serving. Many missionaries plan their availability date based on the school year, but you may also benefit from using a few extra months to prepare for missionary service by gaining valuable life experience. Choosing to spend more time preparing does not mean you are any less willing, worthy, or obedient.</p>

<h2>Balancing the Number of Missionaries</h2><p>If you choose to begin serving between November and May, there will typically be fewer new missionaries in the missionary training center (MTC) and in your arriving group in the mission field. As a result, you might receive more individual attention, a more experienced missionary trainer, or both. Starting during these months would also help to balance the arrival and departure of missionaries throughout the year.</p>

<h2>Fulfilling Your Term of Service</h2><p>Missionaries are expected to serve their full term of service (24 months for elders and 18 months for sisters). Please do not ask your mission president to release you earlier than your assigned release date. Use the provided tools to plan when your stake president should submit your recommendation to help avoid timing issues when you return home.</p>

<h2>Submission Planning Tool</h2><p>This tool will help you determine when your stake president should submit your missionary recommendation to increase the probability of starting your mission at a certain time.</p>

<h2>Mission Release Date Planning Tool</h2><p>This tool will help you determine which submission dates and availability dates will increase the probability of being released by a certain date.</p>

The visual elements and standards in this section are based on the same principles that guide who we are as disciples of Jesus Christ. We can share light and truth, Foundational Messages, and Communication Attributes in visual ways, just as we express them through our voice and tone. Using the principles in <a href="https://guide.churchofjesuschrist.org/section-1-who-we-are?lang=eng">section 1</a> as visual inspiration strengthens the way we can help people feel God’s love by following Jesus Christ.
