They are quite often placed on their missions depending on their attributes. We knoow a very nice Mormon family, originally from Italy, they converted from Catholicism. Their son was sent to Italy due to the fact that he could speak Italian.
Also, the families are responsible for most of the expenses their sons incur while on their mission.
Our daughter dated a Mormom for a year. They never drank caffeine either. However, once a year, on New Year's Eve, the family and their friends had an "anything goes" party for their kids and they could have whatever junk food and carbonated drinks that they wished.
