With many missionaries returning home to self-isolation and home church, the opportunity to share what they have learned with their wards and branches has been missed or postponed. So, if you are a missionary who has returned home during COVID-19, LDS Living would love to give you the opportunity to share your mission experience. We will be putting together a “homecoming talk” compilation of various missionaries sharing their testimonies and experiences. If you are interested in participating, please submit a video of yourself sharing how your mission influenced your life and your understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
