What happens to an LDS Mormon woman who has and affair or cheats on her husband?
Any member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who commits adultery should voluntarily meet with their bishop when they are ready to repent. If they discuss the situation with their bishop, he will be able to help them through the repentance process to receive forgiveness. The forgiveness process will vary depending on the exact situation of the affair.
Although the person should still be attending Sunday worship services, the bishop may ask them not partake of the sacrament (similar to communion) for a period of time.
If the member has been married or sealed in the temple, they have broken their temple covenants. This will result in a temporary revoke of their temple privileges. This will include cancellation of their temple recommend and occasionally, removal of the temple garment. They will not be eligible for the blessings promised them in their temple covenant until they have repented and had their temple recommend returned to them.
In some cases, the member may have to meet with a "Church Disciplinary Council" made up of local church leaders. This council may give the member a probation, disfellowshipment, or excommunication, depending on the severity of the affair. Probation and disfellowshipment are meant to be temporary. Those being excommunicated may be eligible for re-baptism in the future.

What role did missionaries play in the spanish colonies?
The question, written in past tense, suggests that missionaries are a thing of the past. Actually, there are probably more Christian missionaries today than ever before.
Missionaries believe they are carrying out the Great Commission of Jesus in a very literal way. Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8 (among other places) describe the goal to go into all the world, acting as witnesses of Jesus, and making disciples (students) of Jesus.
This goal of sharing Christ's message and creating disciples demonstrates itself in a number of ways. Among these include:
-Direct proclamation of the Gospel message and evangelism
-Church-planting
-Relief or crisis response ministry
-Training (both religious and secular)
-Social justice
-Community development
There are presently close to a quarter million Christians worldwide who would describe themselves as missionaries. The United States churches are the largest sender of missionaries (with still large numbers from other traditional missionary sending countries). However, "2/3 world countries" such as South Korea, Brazil, Ghana, Nigeria, and the Philippines (among others) have a large number of missionaries and/or are rapidly increasing the missionaries sent. Additionally, there are millions of people who involve themselves in short-term mission projects.
What was paul occupation as he traveled as a missionary?
(Acts 23:6) 6 Now when Paul took note that the one part was of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees, he proceeded to cry out in the San′he·drin: "Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Over the hope of resurrection of the dead I am being judged."
Then he was a tent maker. He was conscientious of not being a burden on those who allowed him to stay in his home, so he continued this work.(Acts 18:1-3) After these things he departed from Athens and came to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew named Aq′ui·la, a native of Pon′tus who had recently come from Italy, and Pris·cil′la his wife, because of the fact that Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome. So he went to them 3 and on account of being of the same trade he stayed at their home, and they worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
