I am Sister Tuckett and i am a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My purpose as a missionary is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentence, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. I am a Missionary because i love my god and i want to serve him and fulfill my purpose as a missonary. What is a missionary? A missionary is a reprsentative of Jesus Christ that goes out to different places in the world and teaches about Jesus Christ and about his church that he said up when he was on the earth. We teach about Heavenly Fathers plan for us and how we can live with him again. We teach about having faith and repenting of our wrongs and how we can be baptized and then have the holy ghost to be with us at all times. We teach about gods commandments that he has given us and how to follow him. We teach about families and we can be with them forever! When do missionaries go? The male missionaries(Elders) go out when they are 19 years of age and sisters go out when they are 21. Missionaries go to Canada, US, Europe, Africa, England and lots of other places around the world. There are hundrends of missionaries out preaching the gospel. Missionaries are called by our living prophet and apostles today. We feel out a series of papers and turn them into Salt Lake City, UT and they decide where each missionary goes, then they send us back a letter telling us where the lord wants us to go. We then report on a certain date to what is called the MTC(Missionary Training Center) we go there to learn how to teach people and how to be become successful missionaries. We are there for about 3 weeks and then go to where we have been called to serve. Elders serve for 24 months and the sisters serve for 18 months. We dedicate our time and effort to the lord. We are set apart from the world to do the lords work and to only serve him. I am so happy to be a missionary and i am know that i have been called of god to teach his gospel to the people of Montana. In the Book of Mormon: Another Testement of Jesus Christ i love the verse which reads: "Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble." I am out here to help people to come unto Christ so that can enjoy the blessing that i enjoy. http://mormon.org/missionaries/
