Picture this. You give birth. Cool, right? Then you spend the next 18 years of your existence fighting through blood, sweat, and tears to make sure the little fart doesn’t die. Once you get through all of that with the little guy hating your guts, he leaves for 2 years to go preach the gospel in another language. Sounds a like a deal you’d sign up for? Well now, the deal just got a little sweeter.

The Church of Jesus Christ just announced that “Mother and Son Missions” will be an option for all prospective missionaries beginning in 2024. Instead of seeing two young adults of the same gender strutting the streets, you might be lucky enough to receive the gospel through the weirdly strong connection between a mother and son.

To no surprise, there have been some mixed opinions on the issue. Sherri Kantlethimgo was very enthusiastic about the change to missionary service.

“I could not be more excited! After having 7 kids by the age of 23, I never had the opportunity to go on a mission. Now my little striping warrior and I can convert the whole world together!”

Her son, Jackson Kanlethimgo, was less than enthused.

“First, they told me I couldn’t bring my Xbox and now I found that my mom is coming? This is NOT going to be the best two years. And how I am even supposed to flirt with the sisters during district meeting with my Mom right there?”

Reports are that “Father and Daughter missions” will be announced right after your Dad gets back from the store with the milk.
