Don't do it buddy. Where I come from if your a Mormon you take a chance on getting shot. Mormon's are on the same plateau as Mooney's. Look at other religions before taking that low road.
Talk to an elder in your church. This person can help you get started. While we differ in doctrinal issues, I am glad to see someone take responsibility to share his faith. I think it's cool.
Why do people like yourself ask these questions, just to cause trouble, to get alto of anti Mormon people going.
If you were really LDS then you would know about their mission programs and their mission groups that you would need to talk to.
Most of the missions are done by young people for about a two year period of time and they, their family or the church they are helping pay their expenses.
Join the church. If you're a man aged 19-26, or a single woman over 21, you can serve a mission, but only for two years (male) or 18 months (female). And you get no say in where you get sent, you work 14 hour days 6 days a week, and you have to be entirely self supporting.
