Missionary Opportunities

Getting Started

The first step is to schedule an interview with the Area Temple and Family History Consultants at the Riverton FamilySearch Library by calling either Elder Ekblad at 801-240-9625 or Sister Ekblad at calling 801-240-9615.  The interview is required for all those who desire to serve as a Church-service missionary at the library.  Experience with family history, computer skill level, availability, personal limitations, library needs, start date, hours per week, and length of service will be discussed during the interview.  Please do not submit any forms until after the interview.
