“RM” stands for “Returned Missionary,” a common term in Mormon culture for someone who has completed a full-time mission. Young men typically serve for two years and young women for eighteen months, usually beginning in their late teens or early twenties. Returned missionaries are highly regarded in LDS communities for their dedication and service. The title “RM” often carries social expectations, such as strong commitment to church activity and readiness for marriage. Many Latter-day Saints consider missionary service a defining experience that shapes faith, maturity, and leadership within the church.
