Title: Preach my Gospel: A Post mission guide
Background: Young men and women of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are called to serve twenty-four and eighteen month missions respectively. The transition upon returning home can be quite a difficult experience. This period of transition is one of the most, or can be one of the most difficult and personally challenging times of a young person’s life.
Purpose: This papers aim is to provide returned missionaries with a clear post mission objective. This paper will demonstrate how to live, cope, survive, and thrive after the mission. I will show how to transition to post mission life through the use of using Preach My Gospel.
Method I will show how to transition to post mission life by setting out ten principles that were lived in the mission, and now can be applied after the mission. They are: Develop Christlike attributes, Use the Scriptures, Pray often, Rely on the spirit, Be exactly obedient, Goal setting and accountability, Work effectively, Build relationships with members, Bear frequent testimony, Love the Lord.
Anticipated Results: This method will yield happiness and confidence, a smooth transition into the post mission era, and the fulfilling of post mission duties. PMG will become not only a pre-service and missionary manual, but also a post mission guide or PMG.

What a great topic! There are a few grammatical errors to watch out for. Do you plan on referring to both Preach my Gospel and "post mission guide" as PMG? That might get confusing. Your background is interesting (you prepare for so long for the mission, but barely prepare at all for the after mission), but could it be more concise? It is the largest of your 4 sections. What do you plan to submit this paper to? Good job!
I really like the playful comment at the end, about how a pre-mission guide can become a post-mission guide! So we could say PMG1 and PMG2. The Church might actually appreciate it if you created a real post-mission guidebook, not only with principles from the first but with additional material about how to adjust.
