Jessica left the MTC for Winnipeg on the 22 of Dec. She called us from the airport about 6am and we had a fun visit until her flight was called about 6:50am. She sounded great and excited to get into the mission field. Later in the day I received an email from the secretary of the Winnipeg Mission saying that she had arrived and was having dinner with Pres. Paulson and his wife. On Thursday afternoon we had a phone message from Pres Paulson saying that he and his wife had enjoyed getting to know her during the mission orientation and that she was being assigned to a YSA Ward in the Winnipeg area. She will be in a three-some for the time being (one sister having been out for 9 months and the other for 17months). She will be there for the next 6 weeks. We get to talk to her again on Christmas Day....it's been a fun week!
We know that all of her relationships and life experiences have helped prepare her for this time in her life. Craig and I send a big hug and thank you to all - friend and family. Thank you for who you are and for your love and caring. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years!
Oh yay Jess!! We are so happy for your whole family, we also get to hear from Our missionary tomorrow! Its such an exciting time of the year. Love you all and hope you have a Merry Christmas!
