It's               10               a.m.

and               the               women               have               just               finished               preparing               to               leave               their               one-bedroom               apartment.

There               are               three               women,               one               bathroom               and               two               mirrors.

Also               present               in               this               small               apartment,               as               these               missionaries               from               the               Church               of               Jesus               Christ               of               Latter-day               Saints               (LDS)               explain,               is               a               lot               of               faith               in               Jesus               Christ               -               and               a               desire               to               spread               the               message               of               His               redeeming               power.

It's               mid-morning               now,               but               the               three               sisters,               as               they're               called,               have               been               up               since               6:30               this               morning.

Colette               Duffin,               a               22-year-old               from               Boise,               Idaho,               awakened               her               companions               by               singing               a               cheerful               song               called               "Way               Up               In               The               Sky."
               "She               wakes               us               up               that               way               every               morning,"               says               Corrie               Rindlisbacher,               23,               from               Grantsville,               Utah,               with               a               laugh.

"Every               morning."
               This               is               a               time               of               life               when               many               women               are               just               finishing               college               and               looking               to               start               a               career               or               go               to               graduate               school.

These               women               decided               to               serve               missions               for               the               LDS               church.

Not               only               do               LDS               missionaries               choose               to               take               a               substantial               chunk               of               time               out               of               their               lives               to               serve               Jesus,               they               also               pay               for               it               themselves.

While               the               church               does               help               missionaries               whose               families               are               in               distressed               circumstances,               all               missionaries               are               required               to               pay               some               for               portion               of               their               missions.

This               attitude               to               true               sacrifice               is               a               move               that               is               at               odds               with               the               general               trend               of               young               adults               in               America.
               A               Gallup               poll               found               that               43               percent               of               people               in               the18-29               age               group               say               religion               is               important               to               them,               but               only               23               percent               of               them               actually               attend               services               regularly.

Additionally,               70               percent               of               those               surveyed               in               this               age               group               feel               that               religion               is               becoming               less               important               in               daily               American               life.

However,               for               Duffin,               Rindlisbacher,               and               their               companion               Rhonda               Mayo,               25,               Mesa,               Ariz.,               religion               is               a               fixture               of               daily               life.
               After               a               half               hour               of               physical               activity,               the               women               spend               an               hour               from               7               to               9               studying               scriptures.

Scripture               study               is               a               way               for               them               to               better               learn               the               words               of               Christ               and               it               helps               them               move               closer               to               the               spirit.

They               study               one               hour               individually,               and               one               hour               together.

The               time               from               9-10               is               spent               getting               ready               for               the               day.

They               do               not               wear               odd               clothing               -               they               simply               dress               in               clothing               that               transcends               style,               looking               modern               yet               somehow               different               from               their               peers.

And               they               are               just               like               others               their               age.

They               think               about               going               back               to               school               when               their               missions               are               over,               and               sometimes               their               thoughts               even               dwell               on               men               and               marriage               sometime               in               the               future.
               Just               after               10               they               leave               their               cramped               quarters               and               walk               to               the               house               of               someone               they've               been               teaching.

The               three               don't               have               a               car,               so               they               walk               most               places.

The               investigator               doesn't               know               they               plan               to               visit,               but               the               sisters               try               to               stop               in               occasionally,               unannounced,               to               find               out               if               there               are               any               questions               or               if               help               is               needed.
               "It               gives               us               a               chance               to               see               how               they're               doing,"               Mayo               explained.

"We               can               also               offer               to               help               them,               or               answer               any               questions               they               might               have               thought               of               since               our               last               appointment."
               The               investigator               isn't               home,               so               the               trio               decides               to               do               some               tracting.

They               walk               down               the               street,               knock               on               doors               and               ask               whoever               answers               if               s/he               wants               to               hear               a               message.

They               don't               plan               to               tract               long               today               because               there               is               a               meeting               later               with               the               rest               of               the               missionaries               in               Syracuse.

After               the               meeting,               which               is               expected               to               take               two               hours,               they               have               an               appointment,               and               dinner,               and               more               appointments.

They               won't               do               much               walking               today.
               They               knock               on               a               few               doors.

No               one               is               home.

The               person               who               answers               the               door               "is               set."
               Another               door.

They               knock,               and               the               door               opens.

A               man               with               darker               skin               opens               the               door,               and               Mayo               offers               her               hand.
               "I'm               Sister               Mayo,"               she               says,               "and               this               Sister               Rindlisbacher               and               Sister               Duffin."
               The               man               immediately               invites               them               in.

They               meet               his               sister-in-law.

The               two               are               from               Bangladesh.

The               man               doesn't               seem               very               interested,               but               the               woman               is               curious.

She               doesn't               speak               English               very               well;               she               speaks               Bengali.
               The               three               ask               if               she               would               like               a               copy               of               the               Book               of               Mormon,               a               companion               to               the               Bible.

For               the               LDS               religion,               the               Book               of               Mormon               is               not               a               replacement               Bible.

The               Bible               is               still               very               much               a               part               of               Christian               faith               for               Mormons.

Instead,               the               book               is               a               companion               to               the               Bible,               offering               further               insight               into               the               teachings               of               Jesus               Christ.

The               woman               says               she               would               like               that,               and               Mayo               notes               in               her               planner               to               order               a               Book               of               Mormon               and               a               Bible               in               Bengali.

The               three               promise               to               return               with               a               Book               of               Mormon.

They               continue               down               the               street.

More               knocking.

Not               home.

Not               interested.
               "I've               had               maybe               five               to               ten               doors               slammed               in               my               face,"               Mayo               says.

"Most               people               politely               say               they're               set               religiously."               She               has               been               on               a               mission               the               longest,               18               months.

That's               the               maximum               for               female               missionaries               (men,               most               around               the               age               of               19,               serve               missions               for               two               years),               and               she               will               return               to               Mesa               soon.
               The               missionaries               live               and               proselyte               on               the               south               side               of               Syracuse.

For               safety               reasons,               they               don't               tract               after               dark.

They               make               their               appointments               between               5:30               and               9:30               p.m.

They               meet               their               appointments               at               the               church,               which               is               near               the               apartment,               or               a               congregant               drives               them.

Mayo               has               seen               drug               deals               while               tracting               on               the               south               side,               and               she               sometimes               feels               unsafe.
               Duffin               shares               a               story               about               how               she               felt               tracting               in               Albany               one               day.

She               had               a               feeling               she               and               her               companion               should               leave               an               area,               so               they               did.

She               doesn't               know               what               would               have               happened               to               her               had               she               ignored               that               feeling,               but               it's               better               not               to               find               out.
               Rindlisbacher               says               missionaries               are               protected               when               they               do               the               Lord's               work.

"You               feel               separate,               like               you're               not               part               of               what's               going               on.

But               you               still               have               to               be               smart.

You're               not               invincible."
               At               noon,               the               sisters               head               back               to               their               apartment               to               eat               lunch               and               get               ready               for               their               meeting.

They               feel               good               about               the               woman               from               Bangladesh.

They               also               feel               good               about               what               they're               doing.

They               are               helping               people               accept               Jesus               Christ               and               salvation.
