It is finally coming out that going on a mission "may" not be a good thing for "some" LDS young people.
YA THINK SO?

I was out in 1999-2001. Even then I thought it was a bad situation to send a kid from the US to Europe and nearly cut off all contact with family and friends. I like being by myself and always have, but when you just NEED to talk to a familiar person like a parent, you couldn't (according to the rules.) If weeks of letters get caught up in overseas mail and don't make it for 6 weeks, like it did for me, you feel betrayed. It fucks with a kid's head. It creates it's own set of mental problems that a prayer to the skies or words in a book can't help. Would I have gone again if I believed in the religion, or a god for that fact? No. HELL NO. When I got married my wife (who has been a nonbeliever for a decade) would bring up doing a mission as a retired couple. I said no by means of "we'll see when we reach that age." I came home from Europe bitter over the experience aside from the experience of actually living there and meeting some great people.
