Rumors of 19 year old females going on missions

[TripletDaddy]

I'm guessing they will assign her to work in different areas of the mission and she will have varying degrees of success, just like everyone else.

Should have been more specific, she gets about 6 months in the visitor's center and surrounding church run sites (including Carthage), about 6 months somewhere else in the US, then 6 months back in Nauvoo, so I know what the physical assignments are. What I'm not sure what they're going to know what to do with is a 5' 10" head-turning, headstrong, opinionated, screamo-loving, same-sex marriage supporting, at times foul-mouthed (at least online) young woman who slept through most of seminary and wasn't sure what Nauvoo was when she opened her call.

She's scared to death of proselyting, and I was quite surprised when she announced she was going.

Make her read the Foyer and listen to P-diddy's podcast. That'll keep her home.

Sounds like she would have been a perfect fit in the Foyer prior to her mission.

I would do nothing that might risk her staying home. She's grown up a lot in the last year, but she is still in great need of some perspective outside of her current circle. She's scared that she will finally have to accept her role as an adult. I disliked much about my own mission, but the opportunity to engage all kinds of people at a greater level of sincerity and self-reflection for an extended period of time should not be passed over lightly.

I have an uncle serving a mission in Nauvoo at the moment, he may be restricted to serving in the temple though. Not sure. Another uncle and his wife run the pageant there every summer.

My parents spent about 9 months in Nauvoo as part of their mission to Des Moines a couple years ago. They were proselytizing so didn't do much with the visitors center. They did help with the pageant one summer.

[Moliere]

Had a brother serve in Peoria, which mission basically includes Nauvoo. I'm sure she'll enjoy it but I'm sure those sisters in the visitors center get really bored after a while. She'll also learn to hate the young performing missionaries.

I believe you've failed (twice) to account for the very real possibility that during the re-enactment of the martyrdom someone will "accidentally" load live ammunition and an innocent "random" bystander will unexplainably be injured in a freak accident and have to be sent home to recuperate. The mission president will disavow all knowledge.

As long as she is wearing her garments she should be ok.

I bet your family is going to have access to a lot of those cool bricks. Boxes and boxes of bricks coming in the mail every week.

Yeah, she should try to get a job at that brick factory, or the gun shop. That would be cool.

I thought the gun shop/blacksmith shop was pretty cool.

Or a pocket watch.
