The Mystery of Mormon Missionaries

“Why would these young men and women choose to put on their dress clothes and traipse around strange parts of the world for two years? ”

That was a question I asked my self everyday while serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints. A mission is no easy task. You leave your home, family, friends, and pretty much your whole life for a period of time and dedicate it to your faith. In my case I served only 10 months because of health issues. It was an experience in my life that has shaped me into who I currently am, and has provided me with who I want to be. It is a time of sacrifice, but also one of exponential growth. Many people find missionaries intimidating or scary, and that might be true because people are unfamiliar with them. I am here to tell you, we are not! We are more than willing to help out, and would love to explain to you our crazy decision to serve a mission. Throughout my mission posts, I will give you a glimpse into what it is like to be a missionary,  the process of becoming a missionary, and what missionaries teach. I am not currently a full-time missionary, but I am a member missionary and I love to use the internet for good. If you have any questions feel free to comment, questions lead to answers!!!
