SBS Television program, The Feed, reported last night (11 October) on some of the day-to-day activities of missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes called "Mormons."
The report focuses on missionaries’ daily routines and some of the ways they meet people.
Missionaries also teach families and individuals who are interested in learning more about Jesus Christ and the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In addition, they make time to support local neighbourhoods by giving regular community service.

Mormon missionaries can also be found in New Zealand, other countries of the South Pacific, and around the world. They help anyone who is seeking something better in their life.
India Baker, an Auckland resident attending Auckland University studying Childhood Education, recently became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after studying with two missionaries about her own age.
“The missionaries I met were amazing. I love them,” she said enthusiastically.
“I was going through a very dark time in my life. I was unhappy and struggling with depression. At my lowest point the thought came to me to pray.”
India says she was raised as a strong agnostic and didn’t know if God was real. “So I prayed to God, ‘are you there?’ I needed help,” she said.
“The next morning a thought came to me to call a friend of mine who is a wonderful, happy person.
“It was definitely divine intervention,” India said.
Her friend invited her to join her at a Sunday worship service. “I liked it.”
She was introduced to two young men who are missionaries who focus on helping young adults in the Auckland area who are seeking answers in their life.
“With my background, the things taught by the missionaries were foreign to me,” she said.
“But I prayed and pondered about what they were telling me, and I read in the Book of Mormon. In time, I knew what they were teaching was true. It makes me happy.”
