"Many young women are serving missions. Many are preparing to serve, not because they aren't married or have nothing else to do, but because they have the desire to serve and therefore are being called to the work. The reason so many are going is because in the next generation, Heavenly Father will be sending His Priesthood Army to the earth. And He wants to send them to mothers who have been properly trained and taught in the Gospel. And what better training can a young woman have than serving a mission?" - Neal A. Maxwell
