What missionary journeys did Timothy go on?
Timothy was with Paul on several of his trips including: Philippi, Thessalonica, and Beroea. (Acts 16:11-17:10) When angry mobs forced Paul to leave Beroea, he left Silas and Timothy behind to take care of the new group of Christians formed there. (Acts 17:13-15) Paul then sent word to Beroea, advising Timothy to visit the brothers at Thessalonica, to encourage them(1Thessalonians 3:1-3) Apparently rejoining Paul at Corinth, Timothy brought good news about the faithfulness and love of the Thessalonian Christians. (Ac 18:5; 1Thessalonians 3:6) 1Th 1:1; 2Th 1:1.
On Paul's third missionary journey (c. 52-56 C.E.), Timothy again traveled with him. (Acts 20:4.) At Ephesus (1Corinthians 16:8), Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, wrote: "I am sending Timothy to you, as he is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord; and he will put you in mind of my methods in connection with Christ Jesus, just as I am teaching everywhere in every congregation." (1Corinthians 4:17)
Timothy and Paul were together in Macedonia when the second letter to the Corinthians was written. (Acts 19:22; 2Corinthians 1:1; 2:13; 7:5-7)
Later, when Paul wrote to the Romans, apparently from Corinth, Timothy was with him.-Compare Romans 16:21, 23; 1Corinthians 1:14.
Timothy's name is included in letters written by Paul to the Philippians (1:1), Colossians (1:1), and Philemon (vs 1) during the apostle's first imprisonment at Rome for doing the preaching work. It appears that Timothy personally was imprisoned at Rome sometime within the period between the writing of the letter to the Philippians and the one to the Hebrews.-Philippians 2:19; Hebrews 13:23.

Why did American missionaries want to Christianize the Philippines?
One answer is that the Spaniards were fervent Christians and Christianity, at its very heart, is a missionary religion. The Jews brought Christianity to the Romans, and the Romans brought Christianity to the Spanish. The Spanish then brought it to the Philippines. Christianity is the greatest news that men have ever gotten, the very basis of it is to be spread and propagated.

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.
You can learn more about repentance, church disciplinary councils, and the church's views on adultery at the "Related Links" below.
