Elder Horne returned from the California San Fernando Mission earlier this year because of a health issue. He now serves as a missionary in the Church’s Publishing Services Department, providing technical and user support for the Gospel Library app.
“It’s the service to the Lord that matters,” said Elder Horne.
Sister Carmen Juarez, 24, from Provo, Utah, was called to a service mission due to ongoing health challenges. In addition to supporting the Gospel Library app, Sister Juarez provides leadership and training to new service missionaries and has grown tremendously from the experience.

So, they're working in a customer service call center?
If there is someone with a physical condition that prevents them from lifting boxes or other things, the Church Office Building can be a great choice as a place to serve.

Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View PostI wouldn't call it a "call center" - most issues are submitted online through the apps themselves. They triage the issues, respond back via email with info or questions for additional details, work with the actual content producing departments to coordinate changes, etc. Those who serve service missions can choose the location they serve. In other words, they can serve at Church Office Building in the publishing department, they can serve at the Humanitarian Center, at the Distribution Center, at Welfare Square, Bishop's Storehouses, Special Needs Mutual, etc. They can serve some days of the week in one location and some days of the week in others.

We have a service missionary in our ward and last Sunday I attended a former ward and they have two there. It seems to be getting more common.
I don't know if I could have handled being a service missionary versus a full time proselyting missionary. On my mission I was 100% focused on the work for two solid years. Putting in 20-35 hours per week at a family history center or supporting Gospel Apps, but otherwise living at home in the same environment where you've lived your whole life sounds like a rather different experience.

Can we get full-time service missionaries to clean the chapels? ...and the temples too I guess. Sign-ups went around today in quorum to pick up 8pm-midnight temple cleaning shifts on a handful of weekdays this month or next.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay

Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostYeah, these full-time service missions give some kids valuable on-the-job training. We have a kid in our ward do a service mission at the local bishop's store house. After his mission he got a job at a grocery store stocker given his experience stocking the shelves of the store house. We make it a point to favor the grocery store he works at so we can see the huge smile on his face. He suffers a bit from autism but can tell you the exact shelve location and position of any item in the store, even by the brand. I test him every time we see him and he hasn't failed me yet. He loves his job. Don't under estimate the value of these service missions."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?
