Whitney: Hello, my name is Whitney. Me: hey Kathryn: how are you? Me: fine. you? Me: how come all the mormon missionaries that walk around and knock on peoples' doors are men. but all the mormon missionaries that talk to people on the internet are ladies? Whitney: my sister served in russia Whitney: where she knocked on doors Whitney: my mom served in italy Whitney: where she knocked on doors Whitney: and i know plenty of missionaries that are male that do chat like this Whitney: this is only part of my mission Whitney: i do spent a lot of time actually talking to real people Me: i didnt know that. do you have an interesting family? Whitney: I sure think so. Whitney: i have a brother and a sister Whitney: i'm the youngest Me: where are you from? Whitney: Washington DC Me: cool. so why did your mom and sister knock on doors on the other side of the world? Whitney: as missionaries we can get called anywhere in the world, we are called by revelation, though a prophet. My sister and mom got called to those places Whitney: My brother went doen to south america to do the same thing Whitney: we do it because this is something that has brought us so much joy we are willing to give up a year and a half of our life to tell people all about it Me: why only one and a half years? Whitney: That's the amout of time the leaders of the church came up with Me: could you do it longer if you wanted to? Whitney: yeah you can extend, or you can come back and then if you really wanted you can get called some where else and some other time in your life! It's really a great experience! Me: but i thought it wasnt about what you wanted to do, but what god wants you to do? Whitney: Yeah. God want his children to be happy. Missionary work is something that is required or that promotes us in the church, but it's voletary. So if we go, we go where god wants us to go. the decision to go is really something that is between you and go, you look inside youself and pray and come to a conclusion if going of a mission is right for you Me: how do you know when god wants you to go? Whitney: you pray about it. You can anytime after 21. I came to the conclusion that i needed to go on a mission at a young age. so right when i turned 21 one i knew it was the right time for me to go Me: why doesnt god want anyone under 21 to be a missionary? Whitney: you have so many good questions Whitney: is it alright if we set up a time and i can call you and answer all your questions Me: do you have the answer? Whitney: i do have an answer for you Me: i know. i accidently sent that after you sent me your other reply Me: what kind of music do mormons listen to? Whitney: everything and anything. Whitney: What your favorite band?singer Me: wu tang clan Me: do you like wu tang clan? Whitney: I've never heard of them before. Whitney: My favoirte band is Jack's Mannequin and motion city soundtrack Me: they're good Me: yuck Whitney: well i'm our of time. Can we set up a time to finish this conversation? Me: i dunno. i may come back to this website sometime Me: is this just like a 9-5 job? Whitney: no, i'm not getting paid for it and its a 24 hour job, but my time on chat is almost up. Whitney: I'd love to finishing answering your questions Whitney: you have some really good ones Me: how do you sleep? Me: alrighty Whitney: haha, well we do take time to sleep, and we have have a day for preperation Whitney: ok great what time works for you?
