How not to impress me

When submitting a resume for a position, don't list your Mormon two-year Mission as work experience.  I have no doubt that you busted your ass and developed some very valuable life skills which will help you in both your professional and personal life. 

But this two-year spiritual stint is not "work". 

You will not get brownie points from me by listing it as work experience.  I will, in fact, look at your resume with more scrutiny and ask you to prove the work experience that you do have. Your interview will increase in intensity considerably.

If you insist on listing your Mission on your resume, place it in a more appropriate area: Volunteer work.
