I am converted to the church. I started investigating my senior year of high school and joined the church a couple months before graduating. I’ve been attending BYU Idaho for almost 3 years now and have decided to open mission papers. I’m almost done with my face people have asked me a lot where do you feel like you’re gonna go? After some online research it seems like because I’m not a seminary graduate. I won’t be able to serve in A large amount of foreign countries? I attended seminary every day my senior year while investigating, but since I didn’t attend for all four years, I didn’t get to graduate seminary. but i have taken religion classes at byui since joining the church. it sounds to me like Brazil is a hard no due to their visa policies but I was wondering what places also were? please share whatever you know. thanks:)
For a high school student, you already have a lot of experience. The fact that you didn't graduate from seminary might not hurt you. There are many countries where there can be a mission and where there is no such requirement. I think it depends more on your desire to go to a particular country. You can carry out a very noble mission in various countries. I recently studied an essay on women's suffrage https://papersowl.com/examples/womens-suffrage/ and was surprised that in many other countries men and women have different rights. Moreover, in these countries there is no war or any cataclysms. I think that people who are specially trained for missions in less developed countries can help in the educational field, which will change the lives of people in these countries in the future.
