Hi, Fam!
President Hess said that this email is simply to tell you that I got here safe. The plane landed alright in spite of the worst turbulence I have ever felt, and I haven't yet been blown away across the prairie. I placed a Book of Mormon on the plane here and two more tracting with my NEW COMPANION, Sister Harrington! She is incredible and I love her already. She and I picked each other as temporary tracting companions without knowing that we were assigned to each other as trainer and trainee. We tracted together for 45 minutes and in that time placed two Book of Mormons, told one person that we no longer practice polygamy, and had a door shut in our faces with a declaration that the homeowner in question had no interest in Mormonism because she was Christian (Sister Harrington tells me that happens a lot up here).
We will be serving together in the Dickinson 2nd Ward, which she says is just amazing and so missionary minded. In mission jargon, this makes her my mom and Sister Baadsgaard, Sister Harrington's trainer, my grandmother. I got to meet both tonight and we took a three generation picture. :) President and Sister Hess are incredible. They love us like sons and daughters, and I love them right back. The work is growing here, and I can't wait to jump in and be part of it.
