Mongolian siblings serve in same mission, some as companions
ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia — While siblings are often called to serve concurrently as Mormon missionaries, either in their homeland or abroad, what is so remarkable is the extent to which this is occurring in Mongolia. After all, the LDS Church has had a formal presence here for only 16 years.
The Mongolian people are quick to share the gospel with their family and friends. Three-generation member families are becoming common. The spirit of missionary work has led these faithful people to serve full-time missions in large numbers, with about 170 serving or with calls at the present time. In the current year, there have been 13 sets of siblings serving missions from Mongolia.
