Did you know that the missionary process begins with a recommendation and not an application?
A Recommendation is a statement that someone or something would be good or suitable for a particular job or purpose.
Your bishop or branch president starts the missionary journey with an interview and then begins the “recommendation process” by opening the missionary online portal on behalf of the prospective missionary.
This is not an application process- your child is not applying to become a missionary. They are recommended to be a missionary. That simple word choice makes such a difference!
They have the preparation, fortitude, attitude, desire, enthusiasm, hope and faith to be a missionary!
They are Recommended to the Lord!
How cool is that!!!
