This picture and letter came to us today from Hannah's mission president, President Castro:
Dear Brother and Sister Rubow (that's us),
Sister Hannah Leigh Rubow arrived safely in our mission on Monday, May 6, 2013. As we met her at the airport, she appeared to be in good health, had a smile upon her face and was eager to begin serving in the California Ventura Mission.
She received training and spent her first night here in Ventura. After breakfast today, we held a transfer meeting, and then she went to her assigned area in Bakersfield, California, with her companion, Sister Porter. Enclosed you will find a photo of her with Sister Castro and me.
Your daughter's permanent address in the mission field is the mission office address, which is 3301 W. Gonzales Road, Oxnard, CA 93036. There is a normal period of adjustment as your missionary adapts to the mission field, and your assistance during this time will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for raising such a noble young woman. We already love her as our own and will do everything we can to help her succeed. We are delighted to have her with us.
I share with you my testimony that this is the work of the Lord and pray that our Father in Heaven's choicest blessings will be upon you and your family as your missionary serves with us in California.
Sincerely,
President Fernando R. Castro

| President Castro, Hannah, and Sister Castro The quality of the pic isn't that great since it was scanned into our computer, but it sure is nice to get this picture and letter. Just what a mom needed today. :) |
