Arrived in France!

Cathryn has officially arrived in France and been assigned her first location and companion. We got an email from the mission president this morning, and here are the relevant parts:

"To the Family of Sister Williams

Sister Poznanski and I were delighted to welcome your daughter , Sister Cathryn Celeste Williams , into the France Paris Mission on 04 Mar 2014. She and her MTC companions were enthusiastic and all arrived in good health. She spent her first day eating some good food, visiting with me, contacting non-members in the heart of Paris, and sharing testimonies. We enjoyed her spirit.

The next morning, after a mission orientation, Sister Williams left for her first assignment to work in the Rennes S Area with Sister Johns, who will be her trainer."

I loved my mission in Germany so much, and am excited to live this one vicariously through my sweet daughter.

There were also pictures of her with the mission president and her whole MTC district and the other newly-arrived France-Paris missionaries.

They also mentioned that there's a mission Facebook page. Search for “France Paris Mission Poznanski” on Facebook and you'll find it. They've got tons of photos there, including the arrival of Cathryn's group, and photos of her being assigned her new companion. Pretty cool. Wish we'd had the Internet way back when I went on my mission!

When we talked to Cathryn at the airport this past Monday, she thought their Preparation day would be on Mondays, so she should write us then. Not sure if she'll have to do snail mail or if she'll have access to a computer. Hopefully the latter!
