In light of the previous post, I'm sure somebody's going to bring up local Lds church activities that missionaries are involved in...and yes, they are indeed involved...but you need to understand:
1. Unalaska, Alaska can't even count on getting missionaries every year;
2. Lds missionaries are frequently transferred from one place to another in the middle of their 2-year mission [#1 & #2 together shows no continuity in Lds missionaries being able to oversee anything];
and 3. Per missionary rules, Lds missionaries cannot overbook even their community service at night & weekends because it says that is prime proselytizing time...and one weekday is devoted to "prep time" -- so it's not like they are even encouraged to oversee youth activities or the like as Lds inc. doesn't want any romantic entanglements with local teens.
