Tony and Marnie’s relationship hit rock bottom. The change came in a way that they least expected—with a knock on the door.

While your relationship with God can be deeply personal, sometimes we all need a little help recognizing what God is saying to us. No matter where you are on your spiritual path, missionaries can teach gospel principles and insights that can help you on your way. Think of them as spiritual coaches who will:

  • Help you feel closer to God
  • Show you how to pray and receive answers from Him
  • Help you find answers to your spiritual questions
  • Teach you about the Savior Jesus Christ and His gospel
  • Help you understand the scriptures
  • Support you through your personal challenges
  • Encourage your progress toward repentance, faith, and baptism
  • Introduce you to a community of like-minded believers who can continue to support you in your spiritual journey

You may have already been seeking some of these things. Or maybe you did once and never found answers that felt right. The Missionaries can help you discover the answers you need.

Meet the Missionaries

Who are the Latter-day Saint missionaries? They're runners, chefs, musicians, artists, students – or in other words – pretty normal people. They put their lives on hold for up to two years to share the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

"If I could, I would totally be a professional rugby player."

“I was 16 when I first became homeless.”

“When I was 14, I started playing club soccer.”

“I looked through the peephole and it was missionaries. And I was like, man, I don’t want to open this door.”

“I call it jug fishing. I don’t know what anyone else calls it.”

"Whenever I thought about serving a mission, it caused great anxiety."

“I will finish my degree back in Holland and become a teacher.”

“I loved basketball. I wasn’t too good at it, but I was good enough to get a nickname: Rebound Hound.”

“Being a Christian in Pakistan—it’s definitely rough.”

"I'm all about Jesus."

“The first memory I have with missionaries is running away from them.”

"I never wanted to learn English."

“Don’t matter where it’s from, Texas has got the best BBQ.”

"My favorite thing in the world is music."

"My mom was super shocked that I loved dancing, because it was in front of a bunch of people."

“It’s just the best feeling ever to sprint down that line, having people on both sides cheering you.”

“When I came into my mission, I felt like an alien, like someone put me on another planet.”
