Missionary Minutia


Note from Sis. Bergquist:
I get an email from LDS Living and they had this little corner of mission facts that I thought you might enjoy since you are in the mode.



Did you know that Joseph F. Smith was fifteen when he was called to serve a mission in Hawaii? Here are some other missionary facts:


The one millionth full-time missionary was called in 2007

24,000 missionaries enter the Provo MTC over the course of a year

There are 17 MTCs throughout the world

265,593 converts were baptized last year

David O. McKay proclaimed "every member a missionary” in 1959

As of 2008, there were 348 LDS missions in the world

In 1921, Elder David O. McKay dedicated China for the preaching of the gospel
