They're back home safe and sound. About 15 missionaries from the Central Virginia area and South Boston were hijacked in Guatemala over the weekend. The ordeal lasted about seven hours. In that time these missionaries didn't know if they would live or die. They were ultimately released, but their personal belongings were taken, including wedding bands. The group landed in Roanoke Tuesday night and members are with their families now.
