Young women who choose to serve as full-time missionaries may now begin their service at age eighteen. This announcement is a beautiful opportunity for every young woman who feels ready, who feels called, or who feels the desire to share the light and hope of Jesus Christ. The Church extends its love to the valiant young women who choose to serve as they look unto Christ for strength, direction, and peace as their faith, their willingness, and their devotion inspire God’s children across the globe.
