How To Get Support To Be A Missionary?
There are a number of ways.
1. One can apply to a mission board that supports you from their own resources. Generally, there is a long process to go through to get such a position because one, in many ways, becomes an employee of that mission agency.
2. One may self-fund or be bivocational (working in the mission country) to fund. This is very workable for some, and completely inappropriate for others.
3. Commonly, missions is done in a manner often called "faith-based". While the term is completely a misnomer (nothing more "faith-like" in this method than any others). This involves building a support base with friends, families, and churches. Commonly, one would work with a faith-based mission agency to help with the logistical challenges and mobilization of ministry. They may help you connect with donors. However, commonly one must contact people, and churches. One must demonstrate one's vision, competence, and trustworthiness to convince them that you are called to missions, and deserving of being in partnership with them in missions.
Generally, one should start with those closest to you. They are more likely to know your passion, and recognize your competence and trustworthiness.

What to give lds missionary when they leave home?
This depends on who the missionary is and where they are going.
Above all, the best gift you can give a missionary is your support. They will be provided for temporally, but mission life is hard. Knowing that you are supporting and praying for them means more than anything. Give them a nice card or letter expressing your heartfelt feelings, and be sure to send them regular letters or e-mails of encouragement while they are in the mission field.
If you feel the need to give them a physical gift, honestly, money is always the most appreciated gift for a missionary - they don't want to try to fit anything else into their suitcase, and a missionary's spending allowance is generally very small. They recieve barely enough money to cover basic food and general expenses, so if they end up needing something extra - like a new pair of shoes - they ofen have to write home and ask for extra money to pay for it.
Many like to give missionaries books. This is a great gift but unfortunately missionaries are not supposed to read anything that is not scripture or in the official 'missionary library'. Also, books are just extra weight to lug around as you move every couple months. So unless you are giving them enough time to read the book before they leave, it isn't a very practical gift.
Some like to give missionaries stationary sets. This may have been great years ago, but now most missions prefer that the missionaries communicate with home via e-mail to save on postage costs. If they are going stateside, stamps are still a nice gift, as they may still want to send letters or cards.
Clothing is a good option, especially if you know they don't have some items they need. Men can always use an extra tie, white shirt, or pair of dress socks. Fun extras like tie tacks and lapel pins might be nice as well. Women can also need extra socks, shirts, and skirts or a nice bag to carry their books and supplies in all day.
Simple inexpensive religious jewelry is also a good option. It's small and lightweight and it can be nice to have little options when you feel like you are wearing the same thing every day.
How long did St. Paul study in the desert before going on his first missionary journey?
Paul does not tell us why he went to Petrea, but Damascus had been granted by the Romans to Aretas, king of the Nabateans, so he might have gone to Petrea to gain permission to preach to the gentiles in Damascus.
As for studying in preparation for his missionary activities, Paul says that he learnt the gospel from revelation alone, while Acts of the Apostles says that he was taken, blinded, to Damascus and taught the gospel there.
Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey described in Acts of the Apostles, which seems to conflict with Paul's own account of his itinerary. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that the three missionaries journeys are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts.
