This depends on the denomination, but if you are speaking of missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the answer varies. Missionaries must speak with their mission president about whether or not this is a possiblity. It used to be more common that missionaries were allowed to stay in the mission field for sight seeing or to visit friends before returning home, but the practice is less common now. It is up to the mission president to grant a missionary permission to do this. Please note that the missionary will be responsible for all travel-related and other arrangements and costs if granted the opportunity to stay, and may not be released until arriving home, and so must continue to follow mission rules.

Do missionaries have to return home immediately after completing their mission overseas or can they visit or contact friends they have made in that country first?
This depends on the denomination. If you are referring to LDS (Mormon) missionaries, usually the answer is yes. You will have to work this out with your mission president, but generally if you are serving overseas you can be released as a missionary by your mission president and then spend time sightseeing or visiting friends. This has to be done with your own money, of course. Once you are released from your mission the Church will no longer fund your travel expenses. It is increasingly common, however, for mission presidents to not allow this, as technically your home Stake or District President should be the one to release you from your mission.

It is just this, they eat what ever they got there. we used to do mission when i was in college with my friends. we went far away from our town, we saw different culture and eating.

Are you allowed to go to a church with lds missionaries you already know?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Hopefully this is a satisfactory answer: If LDS Missionaries invite you to church, then of course you can go. Nobody is turned away from LDS worship services. Most missionaries are also able to attend services of different denominations when invited. If you live in the area where the missionaries are serving, you can attend the congregation they are serving in, regardless of whether or not you know the missionaries there. The Church strongly requests that family members and friends do not visit missionaries while they are serving unless they have made prior arrangements with the Mission President. If you are a relative or friend from home, you should not attend the congregation where your missionary is serving unless you have recieved permission from the Mission President, it is much to distracting to the missionaries to recieve surprise visits from home. In short, if you knew the missionary prior to them becoming a missionary, check with them or with the Mission President before visiting their congregation.
