Mission

We go to different places around the world, where the leaders of that country allow us to enter.

I went to Sao Paulo, Brazil on my mission.

I went for 2 years.

Any worthy male, 19 or older, or any worthy female, 21 or older, can go on a mission. Many older couples go on missions as well.

We pay for these missions ourselves. If we don't have the money, the ward and the missionary's family will often pay for it.

I went state-side for 18 months. There are hundreds of mission locations thru-out the world. The youth are encouraged to go as are older retired couples. My parents are leaving next year.

There is a screening process and one must apply and then the church issues a mission call and tells you where you will serve. All missionaries are trained before they leave and for those going to other countries, language training is provided. There are different kinds of missions as well. Most missionaries are teaching people about the restoration of the gospel and working to teach and baptize any who will listen. Some are welfare or service missions. I know a couple that just got back from Cambodia where they helped with water projects and other medical efforts. Others also work at visitors centers located at many church history sites. All missionaries are dressed in suits or conservative dress and wear name tags. All leave their families and school/career pursuits and give full dedication to the effort. That is why a lot of BYU football players are older. They go on the mish and then come home to play.:)
