  1. It is very important that missionaries complete their doctor examination before starting their missionary service because this is not a simple job it is a a very demanding job and it recuares people with good health. Sometimes they are expose to the most extrem wethers or they have contact with some very rear food, plants, animals,etc. They have to be reedy fore all this good experiences.

  2. Missionary takes a long time about 2years. It is vital to serve mission for them to check their health before they go. If they are sick during the mission, it could be a big problem. I think they have to check their bodies. I heard that mission is the most important thing in LDS church. Therefore, they have to check their physical conditions.

  3. Since October when the rule about missionary age term changed, the church offices have been busy, but they are not only the busy organizations. The health center will be busy until January because future missionaries try to complete the mission prep examination before they leave. However, some people cannot wait long, fortunately there are other doctors to visit.

  4. It is very important to do doctor's examinations to make sure that everything is going well, and that there is not any health problem or disease that can cause problems while a missionarie is serving his or her mission. If it happens could prejudice the missionary work on the two years. Go as healthy as possible to serve the mission will avoid future problems.

  5. I don't know if it is a regulation examination or not, but I think missionaries are holy tasks which they are eager for a long times. They want to be prepare enough, so a body examination is necessary. If they find any potential disease, better to heal it before go to the mission. On the other side even they are very healthy, they have to understand their body, because they will go abroad for two years, everything will happen, you have to prepare for them.

  6. It is important to future missionaries to check their health before going to a mission. Otherwise, they can have serious problems while serving a mission and sometimes they even go back home.

  7. I think that missionaries completing doctor's examinations before going on their missions is really important. Serving twenty-four or eighteen mouths is required both physical and mental health, and that is why missionaries should do doctor's examinations before to make sure they are in good health.

  8. This article show us several changes about missionary service such as health requirements.
    I think that is very important to complete all health requirements before to start a mission. When I was missionary, there were many missionaries with health problems and illnesses. In some cases, and when it was necessary, some missions' presidents gave some of them to their houses. It was really sad. The reason was that these missionaries couldn't adequately serve in their missional work.

  9. It's very important that missionary get their doctors appointment's and everything done before go to a mission. They need to get all the shots and check everything because if they go to a mission and they get sick of something that is not normal in their countries they can died. This can be pretty serious.
