The Francis Family


Back in 1980-81, Dad/Uncle Bjorn came to California as an exchange student. He stayed with the Francis Family for most of that time. There he was taught by the missionaries and was baptized by Mike Francis (on the far right). So we paid a visit to see where it all began.

I am so excited over this photo. Oh, how I wish I was there with all of you. Yes, this is where it all began. This is where the gospel came into my life.

It was a great experience to meet Sara and Lovisa and their cousins Jessica and Jennifer. It brought back many fond memories of the time Bjorn spent with our family. We are so greatful for his accepting the gospel and to see how his family have contributed so much to the growth of the Church in Sweden. Thanks to all of you for this really great experience.

Thank you John for bring the girls to meet us.

Paul and Jo Ann Francis and our children;
Liz, Mike, Linda, Danny, and Brian.
