Rumors of 19 year old females going on missions

[Jeff Lebowski]

When the YW president told me about it I asked her why she didn't just ask them to leave. Apparently it's a PH responsibility to kick missionaries out of YW classes?

I am confused. Why does it matter where they attend?

[Moliere]

Damn, those are some serious issues that need to be dealt with quickly. YW, DDD (please recognize the comma).

This is going to be a PR nightmare if the media runs with it!

Can we start a new thread entitled "Rumors of 19 year old males getting judgmental looks because they aren't on a mission yet"?

That seems to be a new trend....

So the sister missionaries in my ward are causing some issues. They are apparently attending YW instead of Relief Society. I guess they just show up, uninvited, to YW opening exercises and have been rotating through the YW classes. The YW leaders didn't seem to phased the first time, but over the past month they just keep showing up. Makes me wonder if they just feel more comfortable in YW since they really aren't that far removed from it. It also doesn't help that they are helplessly socially awkward.

This doesn't seem like too much of a problem but let us know when they try to crash priesthood.

I don't think that is a sister missionary issue, as I have heard of lots of young women having a hard time with the transition from the YW program to Relief Society. Which is probably one of the reasons most people that age go to single wards.

So does Elder Rasband:

A couple of other times as the process moved along, Elder Eyring would turn to me and say, “Well, Brother Rasband, where do you feel this missionary should go?” I would name a particular mission, and Elder Eyring would look at me thoughtfully and say, “No, that’s not it!” He would then continue to assign the missionaries where he had felt prompted.

Perhaps the weight of having the Priesthood slowed the boys down.

Not bad, '71.

What? ? I thought there was giant map that the prophet used the urim and thumin to guide him for each call. Kind of like a really big ouija board.

I think the church should stay with the current process of having a computer program determine the best fit for each missionary and then have the auto-pen sign the call. I don't think I could sit through a weekly draft that lasts 4 days.

Great idea. I love the thought of all the behind the scenes talk between mission presidents, making deals to trade a bunch of older elders/sisters with expiring 'contracts', to move up in the draft. And of course you'll have the arrogant #1 pick, who's obviously going to get picked by the stateside mission president, who will refuse to go there and demand to be traded.

And it can all be televised on BYUTV.

the church should host a combine and a draft, with mission presidents picking from prospective elders and sisters. The most elite elders would be allowed to test at regional pro days at select stake centers across the country. Sisters obviously would not be allowed to do that.

sounds like they are making all applicants take a form of Wonderlic test. I predict that the name of the test will be changed for the sisters for obvious reasons.
