Missions

[Sitamoia]

Just a quick question. We have recently had our school speech finals. One of the girls did hers on her brother who is currently in the Pacific Islands on mission. He went when he was 19.

Maybe I have misread posts but I had the general idea that missions were generally taken on in the early 20s or have I misunderstood? It seemed to be quite young or is that a normal age?

19 is the youngest you can be as a male. 21 is the youngest for female. I think it is acceptable, or used to be, to have your birthday while in the MTC, but not the field.

My son was 19 when he arrived on the south pacific island of Fiji last May. He's 20 now and is on his third transfer. 1. Sigatoka (west side of island). 2. Suva (south and the capital) 3. Lautoka (north). He's having the time of his life. He made Zone Leader about a month ago so he must be doing something right. :) We're so proud of him. He did say there are female missionaries there but did not say how old they were.

That is super cool, Michael-- a family friend just sent their son to the MTC, and he is Fiji bound. It's a small world!

And getting smaller. Like you, I've been employed by the green machine for 26 years now. OOh Rah

I have obviously read more about women going on missions than men :) I don't know where he has gone specifically as she did not always have a lot of volume

Thank you for clearing that up for me :)

The son of friends of mine just got home from Fiji.
