Due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have closed their borders. Most US missionaries that are serving international missions are coming back home. All have to spend the first two weeks in self-isolation, then they will be released or reassigned somewhere stateside to continue their mission "virtually" until it is safe for them to be out with the public again.
We are very happy to have her home safe and sound! She's disappointed that she had to come home after just 6 months of service, but is looking forward to possibly completing her mission after a 12-18 month hiatus. Hopefully the COVID-19 situation will be calmed down by then! Until that point, she plans to go back to BYU to continue her studies-- which will include Mandarin Chinese this time!
