My parents just got their mission call in the mail today. They have been waiting for about 2 months now to receive it. There were several things that happened that held up the call. First my dad had to get his blood pressure down and was on medication for a couple weeks, then once they got their paperwork together they were having trouble with the site to send in the paperwork, then they sent it off and somehow it got lost in cyberspace. So even though their stake president sent the paperwork, the mission office didn't show that they received it. That took a couple days to figure out. Once they received it, the stake president made in error when entering the prostate levels for my dad. It was supposed to be .7 and he put 6.7. Which was a red flag. They called and alerted my parents and they saw that it was entered wrong. So that got fixed, and finally a few weeks later they have received their call to.........................
Copenhagen, Denmark! I had a pretty sure feeling that that's where they would go because that's where my dad served his mission, and when they met with one of the men from their stake who's on the mission call committee, he told them there was a need for senior couples in Denmark. So that's where they've been sent to serve. They enter the MTC on September 8th, so have the whole summer to wait. But it will be worth the wait, they will love it I'm sure. My dad always wanted to go back to Denmark someday.
