    my mormon nephew just returned from his mission....he was not allowed to do anything for himself except on Thursdays and then he was allowed to read letters from home and write home....this is suppose to keep him focused sounds to me it keeps them dumbfounded, how can they teach and reach people if they dont know whats going on in the world.......

    Times are changing.

    When I was a missionary, we weren't even allowed email except under special circumstances; even then, email was sent to the mission office where it was printed out and mailed to the missionary.

    Now most missions allow missionaries to send and receive email from home.

    As far as I know, missionaries are still not allowed to surf the web (wander aimlessly) or get involved in online forums.

    It depends on the mission President. But for the most part, the internet is mainly used just for email their families and is usually only used once a week during their preparation time. The reason behind that is because the internet can be a dangerous place. There is a lot of bad stuff on it. The less time the missionaries spend on the internet, the less likely they are to run into that stuff.

    No. Missionaries are supposed to spend their time looking for and teaching people the Gospel. They are not supposed to be spending their time surfing the internet.

    Do missionaries have any privacy, like can they shower by themselves?
