Missionary protection stories, 2001.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367538669

Discusses missionary folklore, which Vance explains extends into the folk group of Latter-day Saints in general because of their interest in missionaries. Explores stories about missionaries being divinely protected in dangerous situations. Addresses the believability of stories related by the person it happened to, someone who knew the person it happened to, and someone who had simply heard the story form someone. Hypothesizes that protection stories are mostly circulated by friends and family members of missionaries to reassure themselves of their loved ones' safety.
