Just 10 Days!

In the beginning there was lots to do to get our call ready to be submitted to the church. Physicals, eye exams, photographs. It was good we already had our Pass Ports. We met with Pres. Watson and after getting all our information on-line he pushed that magic button on the computer that sent everything to Salt Lake and was told it would be 10 days. The 10 days passed and Pres. Watson contacted Salt Lake. We had submitted the papers too early. We upped the date from September 15th to the 1st. And re-submitted. We were told it would be 10 days. Again we wait and nothing. One night Karl got on the internet to check his e-mail, something that he wasn't doing much of. There was a note there from the church offices. They had a medical question. He e-mail them as well as left a message. The next day a sister called to confirm his message. At that time she told Karl and we could expect our call in 4-6 weeks. Again we waited. The 6th week came and Pres. Watson received a call from Salt Lake asking if we could afford an additional $100 a month. After meeting with us he called Salt Lake confirming that we could. At that time the brother told him that the called would be issued on the 17th of June and we would receive it on the June 22nd (Kort's birthday).
