I have heard this statement far too many times: “I’m only marrying a returned missionary.” I fear this is an incorrect and unholy thing to say.
You were given a calling, or callings, for your life on Earth. They are causes about which you are passionate, ways for you to bring about good in the world. I call these “little missions.”

For anyone who might/will serve a mission, who supports a missionary, who interacts with missionaries, or who has had a bad experience with a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
