Missionaries Coming Home Early

I feel devastated for all the missionaries throughout the world returning home early due to COVID-19. I understand and support the Church's decision to do it, but I can't imagine how hard this must be for those young Elders and Sisters (and senior Elders and Sisters) who have prepared and dreamed their whole lives for a full-time mission only to see it interrupted or cut short.

In my ward alone, there are at least eight missionaries who will be arriving home in the next couple of days. Some will be staying while others will, hopefully, be reassigned in the coming weeks.

Hopefully, these missionaries will get one last missionary opportunity on the plane ride home. (Just remember social distancing!)
