Missionary that disappeared has been found

Hello, dear readers. Wanted to let you know of the beginning and end of a situation. Nearly 48 hours ago, a missionary serving in Utah disappeared, seemingly without a trace. That missionary was found safe and sound today after the police and the LDS Church enlisted the public's help in finding her. The reasons for her disappearance and reappearance are as yet unknown, but more details will be released as they become available. That's the good news for today. For more details on this matter, please see KSL.com. Hope you all are well.
