Why was it bad if there were no monks to take services in the middle ages?
You are clearly very confused.Most monks could not "take services"; only priests could take services, hear confessions, conduct weddings, burials and baptisms, perform the last rights and so on. Most monks were not ordained priests and could do none of these things.Some monks in each monastery did become priests, in order to lead the services and hear confessions, but they were generally few in number. They were not intended to provide services for ordinary people - that was the role of the parish priest.

How were monks and missionaries different?
Monks, as they are today, remain in their monastery, they do not travel about, while missionaries are usually priests who are either with an active Order, like the Franciscans or Dominicans. However, monks could be considered missionaries in a sense, in that they often travel to foreign lands to set up a new monastery. However, they are never the first priests in a new land, that would be missionaries proper. Also, a monk is primarily a monk, and only secondarily a priest, not all monks are ordained to be priests. Before Vatican Council II, a monk who was a priest was considered a choir monk and his duties lay primarily in choir and administering the sacraments, while most monks were claustral, they did the manual labor.
