By Morgan Pearson

Monique McDown had six months under her belt as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in the Brazil Curitiba Mission when, on a Sunday afternoon while walking on a residential street, she heard a car approaching from behind. This was not unusual, but Monique encouraged her companion to join her in scooting over as far as they could to the side of the road. She recalls hearing the car’s engine rev before she was struck by the left front corner of the vehicle. Monique was awake and alert through the entire incident. She made eye contact with the driver before he sped off, never to be seen again.

Additionally, President Nelson co-authored a piece with NAACP leaders calling for racial harmony. He reminded us of the need for gratitude to find healing, he invited us to fast with him, he prayed for us, and he reminded us that “we are all children of a loving God.”
