Sister, I understand your burden, but not as well as you do. I weep when I see missionaries weep.
Many go to the fields for a few photo opportunites so that they can have something else to add to their scrap book. Some go at the expense of others for a tourist event. And then...a few for to find a mate.
The everlasting word for all who want to be a missionary is "Go home and shut up." If they are truly called to the field, the burden will not go away. In time it will come to be genuinely seen upon them.
If I were in your position, I would tell every American that wanted to come to my mission in Brazil, "No thanks. If we need you, we will be in touch with you." More often than not, they will be a hinderance and more often than not, they will bring confusion.
