I called the mission service line and told them I wanted to set up a tour with Sister Sarah...the poor sisters were obviously new and a little unsure of what they were doing...I got disconnected. But don't worry :) After working with sometimes difficult people I've learned how to be persistent as well as polite...so I called them back. We made arrangements for tour for Sunday, Sept 6th and 4:30pm.
Later that week we found out that Grandpa passed away. We called the same number to try to talk to someone who could let Sister Sarah know the news. Blessings happen in unexpected ways. Mom talked to one of the counselors in the mission presidency and he said that he would let Sister Sarah know and then mom told him that we had request to have a tour with Sarah on Sunday so if needed we could tell her then. He commented that he remembered that request and had approved it. Mom asked him if he remembers the exact time that had been approved (we had said anytime after 4:30 pm according to Sister Sarah's schedule). He couldn't remember and transferred us to his wife to find out. The sister couldn't find the approval in the system, but because of our call we were able to get that resolved and see Sister Sarah...a definite blessing in an unexpected way!
Here a few pictures. Sarah looks great! I loved being able to see her :)
A great take-it-yourself picture while we were waiting for David and Melissa :)
