Missionary work is about internal service as well. It gets young men and women to commit to the Church at a time when they'd probably move on, and helps them martyr themselves when people with 10 minutes to spare can surf the Internet for questions that most missionaries can answer only vaguely and in defiance of common sense.
A quick thinking missionary might try to convince someone of the pre-existence with a handy misinterpretation of Romans 8.
It really is that bad.
