LDS missionaries

The role of the Mormon missionary is to teach and share the beliefs of the Mormon Church with people throughout the world. Most missionaries are young men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-one, although young women and older couples serve as well. Male missionaries serve a time period of two years and women serve for a year and a half. Missionaries are rarely seen alone. Missionaries live and serve with a companion. Serving a mission for the Mormon Church is completely voluntary. The Mormon Church calls missionaries to serve throughout the world. Missionaries learn language and teaching skills in the Missionary Training Center located in Provo, Utah. Missionaries dedicate their time to preaching their religion to those who are interested. They also participate in humanitarian work and volunteer within the community. Their main goal is to share the message of Jesus Christ and provide the opportunity to join the Mormon Church for those who are interested.
