We have four missionaries in our ward, with ipads. They have complete access to the LDS.org library, but (per their mission president’s wishes) little else in terms of reading\/enrichment material. I keep mentioning different books, as is my wont (see here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>), and telling them “all you need to do is read<\/a>,” so they’ve been frustrated at the apparent lack of access to “the good stuff.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

So I told them, “Go read the old Ensigns. There’s great stuff back then, and they’re all on LDS.org.” Those old Ensigns kept me intellectually alive until I was able to read other material<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For a starter list on history, doctrine, and things of interest, all of which I found on my mission,\u00a0I offered the following, with appropriate caveats about this being introductory material, written for a certain audience, may have errors, potentially 20-30 years outdated, etc., but better than nothing, esp. for a missionary.<\/p>\n
