Call Process
LDS Mission Call Process
The LDS Mission Call Process is one of the most frequent topics that people ask me about. Below is a summary and links to the articles I have written on the subject.
- Mission Papers Overview This article gives a high-level view of what to do before, during and after submitting your mission papers.
- Mission Application Timeline In this article, I give details about the steps involved in the mission call process with particular emphasis on when to begin, and how long to expect each step to take.
- Mission Application Form This article talks in detail about the Checklist for Full-Time Missionary Recommendation, the official paperwork you will need to fill out before going on a mission. If you are looking for the actual forms to download, I’m sorry but the Church just does not make them available. You can try doing a Google search for Checklist for Full-Time Missionary Recommendation, and sometimes you’ll find people have posted them.
- Fill out your mission papers online. Use the Missionary Online Recommendation System.
- Missionaries Are Called by God In this article, Elder Ronald A. Rasband explains the LDS Mission Call Process, particularly, how missionaries are called by God through inspiration to our living prophets.
- Mission Call Letter Two to four weeks after the Church receives you mission application, you will receive your call packet in the mail. This packet will contain your mission call letter from the prophet, as well as other materials, including a list of mission clothing and other items to bring.

I am preparing for a mission right now and I am on process now. I will submit my papers next Sunday. And I am so excited about this. I hope I could be able to served outside the country.
I am grateful for this site. It helps me preparing well for my mission. Thank you so much!
Hi, I just had the Stake Presidents Interview. I was wondering if you could tell me what day of the week do the Apostles meet to do the Mission Selection Process? You can write to my E-mail if you can’t say in Public. Please and Thanks
Sorry Jared. I don’t know.
That’s ok. Thanks Anyways and a Wonderful Website you have. It’s Awesome! =)
My paperwork was submitted at the beginning of this week. This has been a long and stressful process but I am very excited to represent the Lord. I can’t wait to serve the Lord. :]
sir , give me a mission call software thanks
I have two questions:
1. I got my call to Vancouver Canada and I lost my application for Visa and I don’t know who to call. Do you have the number?
2. I’m preaching in Mandarin Chinese Language and everyone’s telling me that I’ll be at the MTC for a VERY long time. Do you know how long I’ll be staying there?
Please and thank you
metui,
1. Regarding your lost Visa application, you can try to contact the Missionary Travel department at Church headquarters, 1-801-240-5111 or 1-800-537-3537.
2. Regarding your length of stay at the MTC, as I understand it, for languages that have proven more difficult to master, they sometimes have the missionaries stay for 12 weeks, rather than the normal 9 weeks. And yes, this will seem like a very long time because you will be so anxious to get out into the field, preaching the gospel of Christ. But be patient. Your time will come. Take full advantage of the time you have in the MTC to learn your language. When you’re standing on someone’s doorstep, trying to speak to them in a new language, you’ll wish you had spent more time learning the language. But have faith in the Lord and he will help you.

Call assignments are generally made on Fridays, and the call packets generally get mailed out on the following Tuesday. See this article for more detail: http://www.mormonmissionprep.com/call-process/day-of-the-week/
Thank you for this useful information! This helps reduce a lot of anxiety, so thanks!
