What is your experience with the LDS missionaries and being a convert?

This is my experience with the LDS church and the missionaries:
I was a single mom with children....the two missionaries came into my life and made me very happy only to end up with heartbreak when they were done with their mission and left you. At first you think they are very educated and really love their work on a mission, but this isn't always true. Many of them feel pressured to go on a mission. They are not the psychiatrists or the conduits you think they are for the church. I believe they do love the church but not always as much as you think. After they are done with their mission they do not like talking about the gospel as much as you thought they would. I tried e-mailing or writing them after, and they aren't as focused on the gospel or as interested in talking about it as they were while they were on their missions.
I wanted to continue talking about the scriptures with them after their mission was done as a friend but was disappointed in not feeling like they wanted to. They are young they are and they are human... so don't judge a book by its cover... the smiles, the finely dressed look, and the impression that they are fully educated in the LDS gospel can be temporary. I cried my eyes out when my first missionaries that got us baptized moved on. I felt ignored.
I do believe in the church fully, but now I understand what was going on. I don't want anyone else blindsided by getting converted for the missionaries rather than for God. Just love the church and study the scriptures and do it for you and God only.

When did the first missionaries came in the Philippines?
The first five missionaries in the Philippines were a group of people from the LDS church. The Latter Day Saints were followed by Baptist missionaries after World War II.
What is the ration of men to women lds missionaries?
The exact ratio between men and women in the LDS missionary force is constantly changing, as missionaries leave and come home every week. However, generally, about 10% -20% of Mormon missionaries are women. The number of female LDS missionaries is expected to rise quite dramatically over the next several months as the minimum age requirement was lowered from 21 to 19, (as of October 2012) making a mission more accessible for many young women.
Was Brian Wimmer a Mormon Missionary?
There are 52,000 or so full-time LDS missionaries at any given time, so there's a good chance there is a person of that name has served an LDS mission.
Which religion is most likely to use missionaries?
I would definitely say the LDS or MORMON religion. They currently have over 50,000 missionaries serving in almost every country in the world.
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.

What are some of the missionaries goals?
The goals of a missionary are to spread the LDS faith to people of all ages, countries and walks of life. They inspire you with the faith of the restored Church of Jesus christ.
How many countries have the LDS Missionaries not been in?
Communist governments are usually against any missionary entering the country. Also some middle eastern countries who's teaching is Islam. It is my understanding that Mormon Missionaries will soon be allowed into China.
When were the LDS allowed in the LDS church?
I don't know why you asked that question. "LDS" means "Latter Day Saints" and refers to anyone who is a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or LDS church. That is pretty self explanatory. So the LDS were ALWAYS allowed in the LDS church because the LDS church is made up of only LDS people. Duh.
Can friends email LDS Missionaries?
Yes they can, so long as the message contains only those things which will be uplifting to the Missionary. Remember they are called to bring people to Christ, they cannot do this if the message received causes them to detract from their purpose.
Can a non-member of the LDS join an LDS dating website?
I'm not sure, it probably depends on the site since LDS-specific sites are usually full of LDS members looking to date other LDS members. LDSSingles.com, LDSPlanet.com, LDSMingle.com, and LDSSingleSite.com are a few LDS dating sites you can try.
