Ep263: The Arizona Tucson Mission Disaster

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by former LDS missionary, Tanner Talbot as we take a deep dive into the Arizona Tucson Mission circa 2016.

Tanner was the 54th missionary to be sent home by the mission president, who had been serving for only 21 months at the time. This alarmingly high rate of missionary turnover reveals a darker underside to what was occurring.

Tanner discusses how missionaries already struggling with mental health broke under the pressure of the strict programs being implemented turning the mission into anarchy. Attempted murder, self-harm, sexual predators to minors, sexual assault, theft, destruction of property, assault and battery, and more were happening by missionaries in the Arizona Tucson Mission. Most instances seemed like they were left unpunished and were quietly swept away.
