Description	Two young Mormon missionaries pose next to their bicycles on Whitmore Avenue. A Mormon missionary is a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more commonly known as the Mormon Church. Most Mormon missionaries are single young men and women in their early twenties, who receive a "call to serve" - an official notification of their location assignment - which is usually a mission far from home. They are volunteers and do not receive a salary. Full-time proselytizing missionaries are required to adhere to a dress code: for men, conservative, dark trousers and suit coats, white dress shirts, and ties are generally required. For women, modest and professional dresses or blouses and skirts must be worn. Missionaries are assigned companions, and are directed to stay together at all times. The young men pictured here are serving their missionary work in Echo Park. The man on the left wears a name tag identifying him as an "Elder", which means he is a full-time missionary. Photograph dated September 13, 1997.
