Current Apostles Missionary Service
A handful of these brethren did not serve missions due to military obligations at the time they were of missionary age. In addition, at the time it was not required that every young man serve missions as you would commonly see today. Most wards sent out 1-2 missionaries at a time. It is important to note that each of these brethren, if called upon to serve a mission, would have been worthy and willing to go. Listed here are today’s 15 Apostles and their previous missionary service.
