“investigators” are people who are taking the missionary discussions (there are 6 of them) and who the missionaries hope to convert.

The list is from the missionary handbook aka the “white Bible”.

Missionaries are generally men 19-21 and women 21-23, while not an absolute requirement you are expected to go if at all possible (like the Hajj).

If you break too many of those rules, then you are sent home “dishonored” and that is a stigma that follows you the rest of your LDS life.

Mormon missions are very controlling. Although Binger managed to break a few rules and still ‘return with honor’.
