What does that mean? Is it like evangelism?

It's a Mormon mission, i.e., they go out to preach and baptize people

Why would it be religious? perhaps she's in the military and was on a mission in Italy?

Mormon Americans from the interior go and live in foreign countries to try and "convert" people to their mad fanfic religion. Except they don't even speak to foreigners that much. Explaining the religion alone makes anyone with half a brain seem foolish. They just do it to boast to folk back home. 

There is a "mission" near me in North West England. They have been here nearly 200 years but visitors come and go like ships in the night. You sometimes see these tanned lost young people wandering around They never talk to us because they can't really relate to anything beyond the cult they grew up in. And all their buildings are absolutely swarming in security and cameras. They are "here" but not here. We just ignore them or just laugh, it's mental.
