Best Answer

Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) may contact friends and family by letter or e-mail once a week. They can only call home twice a year, on Mothers Day and Christmas, unless there is an emergency such as serious illness or death in the family.

Missionaries are supposed to focus all of their time and energy on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and serving the people in the area where they are located, so contact with anyone not associated with their mission work (including friends and family back home) is limited.

i think as the name implies,Missionaries are missionaries. they are in missionaries. They are going to join or going to influence/ teach people they never saw before. 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. We had to join them what ever it is, because its all about mission,sharing love and meal. thank you


Can i tell a Mormon Missionary that i love her?

No, not while she is serving her mission. She needs to be free from any distractions, plus mission rules do not allow a missionary, male or female, to engage in romantic physical contact with anyone.


Can a relationship with a Mormon Missionary Last?

This depends on both of the people. The Mormon church recommend missionary's to not be in a relationship before they leave so they can serve god fully. If both are faithful I really don't see why a relationship wouldn't last.


Do all Mormon woman wear skirts and dresses?

No, definitely not. Female members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) are not required to wear skirts and dresses - most Mormon women wear pants for their regular activities, except in some countries where dresses for women are the norm. (Many nations in Africa frown on women in pants)Within Mormon culture, skirts and dresses are considered the most appropriate attire for worship services and other church meetings as a sign of respect, but those in pants will not be turned away. The only Mormon women who are required to wear pants are female missionaries, who adhere to a strict dress code. Female missionaries, or "sisters" must wear skirts when preaching or proselytizing, except in certain areas where mosquito-borne illnesses make pants a safer choice. Sisters may wear pants when exercising or performing community service.In short, Mormon women usually only wear skirts or dresses to church or when preaching as missionaries. Your average Mormon woman (including me!) is wearing pants right now.Click to see photos for examples of what Mormon women would wear:Mormon Sister Missionaries in Pants (2016)Mormon Sister Missionaries in Belgium(2013)Sister Missionaries guidelines for pants(exercise and service)Typical Mormon women dressed for church(2015)Mormon woman leaving church in pants(2012)Mormon Women in PeruTypical Mormon women in California (2012)Typical Mormon women in Atlanta, Georgia(2010)Mormon women dressed for church in Utah(2015)

It depends on the location... most people were so concerned about providing for themselves that they weren't really concerned with what other people were doing.
