Mormon missionary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A Mormon missionary is a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS church).

Missionaries serving English-speaking missions spend three or four weeks at the MTC and are trained in the use of proselytizing materials, taught expected conduct and study the scriptures. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mormon_missionary   (2092 words)

"One is to convert people to Mormonism, the other is to turn a missionary into a committed Latter-day Saint." Seymour, 23, and Burton, 20, like the other 60,000 Mormon missionaries worldwide, subsidize their own missions. www.jrn.columbia.edu /studentwork/cns/2002-02-22/syndication/epstein-mormons.txt   (929 words)

Getting The Water To The End Of The Row By E. Cordell Vail and Roan A. McClure The rest are from the nine months as Prophet and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Of sixty young men of missionary age who were inactive or unworthy to go on a mission at the start of the program, by the end of the fourth year, forty nine (49) had either gone on missions and returned, were still on missions, or were ready to turn in their papers.
