Can I receive money endowment if I don’t want to serve a mission? I’m 21 years old, and I’ve been inactive for some time, but I really want to come back to church. The problem is I don’t want to serve a mission because I have other priorities. Can I receive my endowment anyway? Thanks.

I'm happy you're considering coming back to check, Enrique! It takes courage to make decisions that, though difficult, can improve our lives. Coming back to church is just such a decision.

People who don't serve missions can be endowed. Typically, a person is endowed when they leave for a mission, when they get married, or if they're getting on in years and it seems that neither of these things is likely to happen anytime soon. So you may need to wait a bit, but it should be possible in time.

I hope this answer helps.
