"Infant Holy, Infant Lowly" - December 20, 2021

 



Merry Christmas from West Virginia!

First, I just realized I forgot to change the subject of last week's email to the correct song of the week, haha. So sorry! I had two songs I was planning to do. "I Know He Lives" will be coming in a later email, maybe.
Anyway! It was a wonderful week here in Barboursville! We have had more miracles and blessings! The biggest one is that we were messaging a man on Facebook and he agreed to meet and listen to a message from us! We called and shared part of the Restoration with him and he agreed to learn more! We have met twice with him over messenger video chat and then asked if he would be willing to learn more from local missionaries. He agreed and gave us his address so we could figure out which missionaries are closest to him! It was so amazing! We referred him to the elders in his area! His name is Bobby. Keep him in your prayers everyone!
Another amazing miracle we had was on Thursday we met with a sweet lady who previously had been taught by missionaries. She's friends with some members in the ward so when we met with her Sister Hope came too! It was wonderful! We reviewed the Restoration with her and then asked if she would be baptized. She promptly replied that when the time was right she probably would. Sister Hope cut in and said that if she kept saying that the time would never be right to be baptized! It was amazing! Sister Hope is so wonderful! We set up a time to meet with her again this week! Oh, her name is Linda! 
Song of the Week: "Infant Holy, Infant Lowly" by BYU Vocal Point. I love this song! Christ was born for us. The angels proclaimed the good news to the shepherds. The Wisemen followed the star to where the young child was. What are we doing to hear the angels proclaim to us? Are you trying to follow the star to Christ? This Christmas think of what you can do for Christ. He has given us so much! I love my Savior and I love this season!
Have a Merry Christmas, everyone! Talk to y'all next Monday!
-Sister Francis

 Oh hello wonderful family and friends! Welcome to another week in the life of a missionary here in Barboursville, West Virginia. This week was full of cold weather, tracting and miracles! Let's jump in! The most amazing thing happened on Saturday night! We were inviting as many people as we could to attend church with us the next day. We messaged David, not really thinking about him coming to church even though we were trying to invite lots of people. We asked how he had been and he said he had been feeling a little down the past few days. We asked how we could help and he said we couldn't really do anything BUT he would be coming to church the next day!!! It was amazing!! By his own free will he said he would come to church!!! It was the best!!! Sunday morning we showed up to church and David was there!!! I know Heavenly Father sees each of us and He knows our needs. He is so good! (I also got to lead the music for Sacrament Meeting!! I loved it!!) We had many member meals th...

  Hello family and friends!!  Another amazing week here in Roanoke! We had exchanges with Martinsville 1, Sister Brown and Sister Judson, from Tuesday-Wednesday! I was with Sister Brown in Martinsville! So many cool miracles! We met a lady who knows some members in the Roanoke ward! That was pretty cool! She said we could stop by anytime! Later that day we had an amazing lesson with a part member family! We shared the message of the Restoration and at the end invited the dad to be baptized. The Spirit was so strong!! He said no because he just isn't ready yet. The Sisters in Martinsville will co tinue helping him prepare!! Last week the Sisters had invited the family to day family prayer each day. We got to listen as they told us about how doing such a simple act changed each day and ultimately the week!! Prayer has power!! Good things are happening in the Sisters area!! Wednesday we exchanged back and I was with Sister Lofgreen again! We went out to try and get in co tact wit...

"Born on Christmas Day" - November 29, 2021

 Family and friends, hello! It has been quite an exciting week! We had exchanges on Tuesday with the Sister Training Leaders and there were SO MANY MIRACLES! Wow!! I went to Ashland, Kentucky with Sister Walker. We began with doing some service at a clothes store. From there we drove to some recent referrals homes and knocked on their doors. We gave a Plan of Salvation pamphlet to one of them! The last one we tried to visit didn't live at the address listed so we knocked on some of the neighbors doors! We had a wonderful conversation with a lady who is friends with people who attend the Ashland ward! She accepted a Book of Mormon so hopefully something comes of it! This neighborhood was also right along the Ohio River! It was beautiful!! That evening we were calling a few other referrals and two of them who haven't been very responsive in the past answered! One said they weren't interested but the other set an appointment up! Later in the week Sister Walker told me the less...
