LDS missionaries Sample Clauses

LDS missionaries. Having given a short history of the Poland LDS Mission, I will discuss LDS missionaries, because they are highly visible inside any LDS mission field, often pushing LDS recruitment/ conversion forward as shown throughout this thesis. In late 2019, the LDS Church officially stated that it had over 65,000 missionaries spread over 399 missions in the world (www. xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxx accessed 21-11-19). Back in the early 1960s, trainees, who had previously “received little training before entering the mission field”, started undergoing “several weeks” of “language training” at LDS university sites in Utah, Idaho, and Hawaii (Xxxxxx et al 2014: 764). Moreover, in 1978, the MTC opened in Provo, Utah, near BYU, where all missionaries started undergoing a “uniform training experience” with long hours of study for “several weeks” before entering the “mission field” (Ibid). In late 2012, the LDS lowered the age for full-time missionaries, with YMMs starting their missions at 18 rather than 19, and YFMs at 19 rather than 21 (Xxxxxxx 2015: 188). Through a well-coordinated mission structure, the LDS leadership in Salt Lake City “can decide where promising converts” may be found worldwide and “deploy” their missionaries “accordingly” (Xxxxxxx/Xxxxxxx 2007: 219). Smartly-dressed, usually retired, married couples make up about 7% of the missionary force worldwide, with them performing administrative or humanitarian roles in the mission field (Xxxxxxx/Xxxxxxx 2007: 208; Xxxxxx et al 2014: 756). YMMs, who make up about 75% of all missionaries, are required to dress in suits/ties and YFMs, who make up around 18%, in dresses or blouses/skirts, as prescribed by an official missionary manual (Xxxxxxx/Xxxxxxx 2007: 207-208; Xxxxxx et al 2014: 756). Despite many YMs coming from North America, more non-American missionaries are entering the international mission field (Xxxxxxx/Xxxxxxx 2007: 214). In late 2019, the LDS Church officially stated that it had 11 MTCs in operation (xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxx accessed 21-11-19). Before attending an MTC, young LDS may spend years saving up to fund their missions, building up excitement/idealism towards their future missionary work (Xxxxxxx/Xxxxxxx 2007: 218). YMs heading for non-English speaking destinations start learning foreign languages inside their MTCs, and build on this during their missions which are two years for YMMs and 18 months for YFMs (Ibid 208).
