The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) only releases information regarding the total number of missionaries and not numbers relating to specific areas. The total number of missionaries serving as of January 1, 2014 was over 80,000.
If you need to know numbers for a specific area, you must contact the Church's public affairs department.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) did not come from Europe. It began in 1830 in upstate New York, USA. Mormonism first reached Europe in 1837, when a group of missionaries was sent to Great Britain. In fact, the oldest continuous Mormon congregation in the entire world is located in Preston, England. It was established in 1837 shortly after the missionaries arrived there. Missionaries were sent to other European nations shortly afterward, and Mormon converts became quite plentiful in Germany, Holland, and Scandinavia.
Mormon missionaries are discouraged from swimming because it is seen as a potential safety risk and a distraction from their primary mission of spreading their faith.

Missionaries come from all over the world.
Missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The "Mormon" church) do have the physical ability to lie, as they are human, but they are not supposed to lie. If their leaders find out they have lied they can be sent home.
According to BYU, in 2008, 10% of female students and 78% of male students were returned LDS missionaries. This is 46% of the total university student population.
There was no impact of missionaries because there was no missionaries. Europe was all Catholic and travel outside of Europe didn't happen until the late 1400's so no missionaries were needed.
