It saddens me that so much human effort and dedication would be wasted trying to convince more people to become Mormons. I'm glad it at least has a positive outcome of teaching people dedication. I know a few Evangelical missionaries, but it seems like a majority of their efforts are in improving peoples' lives, like building houses, teaching language, etc. I certainly hope Mormon missionaries do the same. Not saying they don't, it just seems like the emphasis is on conversion.
