text: when a mormon missionary converts someone into their lds church, are they paid a comission? who pays for missinaries to stay overseas? how do mormon missionaries 'make a living'? do they earn a wage? truth be told all mormons are required to do a certain period of missionary work,whether it be at home or abroad. i'm certain that any expenses and basic needs will be met by the church during that,but as far as an actual salary i think not.however since the mormon church has built for themselves a very comfortable little world for their followers i am certain that no mormon who gives of their time to missinary requirements is going to suffer financially for it.  ad
