Pollyana Johnson, of Monett, will be serving an overseas mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The daughter of Liza and Eric Johnson, also of Monett, she has been assigned to the Sáo Paulo Brazil West Mission - Temple Visitors Center and will begin her mission there May 19.
Ever since I could remember, I have wanted to serve a mission, said Johnson. As a child, the thought of living in a foreign country for 18 months sounded like a fun adventure.
According to Johnson, it wasnt until her teenage years that she began to contemplate and try to understand her desire to serve a mission.
