  Hello, hello, family and friends! I wanted to send one final email! This past Saturday I returned home! It was a wonderful, joyful and exciting day. I'm so happy to be home with my family!! I know that God is our loving Heavenly Father. I know Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. I know Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. I know the Book of Mormon is a true record and that it testifies of Christ. I know that this Gospel is the only way to find true joy and peace in this life. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live! They love us! Please reach out if you ever want to talk about anything!! Those good ole West Virginian country roads have taken me home. Love,  Sister Sariah Francis

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.
