Just a quick note to say that Ben’s missionary papers have been submitted to Church headquarters in Salt Lake City. ☺ After his interview with President Skinner yesterday, Jennifer was told that there were three small little informational details that were missing in the paperwork from Ben's "regular" doctor’s examination and they would need to be filled in before his missionary application could be transmitted. Jennifer obtained the required information and left a message on President Skinner’s voicemail. He called her back before I came home from work informing her that he had input the information and sent the transmittal.
One of the interesting aspects with Ben and this process is that his "friend-girl" Alana (I mentioned their relationship here and have decided to describe them in this manner ☺) has been paralleling him each step of the way. While Ben was in being interviewed by Bishop Galindo (Melchizedek Priesthood and mission), Alana and her dad arrived in the church building. When I mentioned what Ben was doing, she excitedly told me that she had come early in order to interview with her bishop. Yesterday, Alana followed Ben in interviewing with President Skinner. If not for the extra information Ben’s submission needed, they would have had their papers submitted the same day. Even with the difference of the one day, I believe there is a decent chance that their mission calls could arrive on the same day as well. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. ☺
