The Big White Envelope!

Ok we have all been there, no one loves the mailman more than someone waiting for a mission call!  The excitement you feel when you open the mailbox and see that big white envelope only to see it is from someone trying to sell life insurance!  (Using big white envelopes should be out lawed for anything but mission calls!)

Mission Papers Sent!

I’m going to start at the very beginning, a very good place to start, or so the song says!

“I need the medical papers so that I can send his papers to Salt Lake.”  The bishop told me.  I went home and told my son what the bishop had said and he told me that he had already turned them in when he had his interview.  He called the bishop to let him know that he thought he had turned in the medical papers already.  The bishop said he would look and make sure he didn’t have them and get back to us.

He then got back to us and he didn’t have them!  Great!  Time to go back to the doctor and dentist and hope we can get copies quickly.   It ended up not being as difficult as I had envisioned it to be, I do tend to blow things way up in my mind!
