Missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church)—widely known as Mormon missionaries—are volunteer representatives of the LDS Church who engage variously in proselytizing, church service, humanitarian aid, and community service. Mormon missionaries may serve on a full- or part-time basis depending on the assignment, and are organized geographically into missions. The mission assignment could be to any one of the 418 missions organized worldwide.
The LDS Church is one of the most active modern practitioners of missionary work, reporting that it had over 85,000 full-time missionaries worldwide at the end of 2014 (as well as over 30,000 part-time church-service missionaries). Most full-time Mormon missionaries are single young men and women in their late teens and early twenties and older couples no longer with children in the home. Missionaries are often assigned to serve far from their homes, including in other countries. Many missionaries learn a new language at a missionary training center as part of their assignment. Missions typically last two years for males, 18 months for females, and 6 to 18 months for older couples. The LDS Church strongly encourages, but does not require, missionary service for young men. All Mormon missionaries serve voluntarily and do not receive a salary for their work; they typically finance missions themselves or with assistance from family or other church members. Many Latter-day Saints save money during their teenage years to cover their mission expenses.

http://www.mormonmissionprep.com On Saturday, 6 October 2012, during General Conference, Mormon Church President Thomas S. Monson announced a lower age requirement for missionary service, 18 for young men and 19 for young women. Transcript below: "Brothers and sisters, I now turn to another matter—namely, missionary service. For some time the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles have allowed young men from certain countries to serve at age of 18 when they are worthy, able, have graduated from high school and have expressed a sincere desire to serve. This has been a country-specific policy and has allowed thousands of young men to serve honorable missions and also fulfill required military obligations and educational opportunities. Our experience with these 18-year-old ...
Saying goodbye for two years was seriously so heart wrenching, but I couldn't have been more proud of him. Brad decided to serve an lds mission for our church, and we all screamed when he opened his call and it said Rancagua, Chile! His Mom is from Chile, and his grandparents and cousins currently live there. On his mission he learned spanish, and it was such a blessing for him to finally be able to communicate with his extended family! Those two years felt extremely long for me, because the only communication we had was through written letters, and we got to talk for about 15 minutes on Christmas and Mothers Day. However, over those two years that we were apart, we grew closer than I could have ever imagined. God became the center of our relationship. The day had come for him to come hom...
