Spending time outside during Covid doing yard work improved the mental health of the missionaries in a former mission leader's mission.

Instead of a full day of doing missionary work online this mission spent only 45 minutes per missionary.  The rest of the time they worked outside doing service projects for the members of their community.  

The results were remarkable bringing the number of missionaries being treated for mental health issues from 54 to 1!
