Scott receives his "mission call" letter on February 9, 2011

On February 9, 2011 Scott went to the desk at Helaman Halls, where he is a freshman at BYU. He was looking for his "mission call" letter and they told him that it had not arrived. I had already booked a flight on Friday the 11th for him to come home to open up his letter in St. Louis. Meanwhile, a message is left on the voice mail of our home phone that the letter had arrived early that morning and they were waiting for him to pick it up. He texts me that afternoon, while I was at lunch, that he did not receive his letter. I went home before going back to work and found the phone message from the desk at Helaman Halls and just assumed that Scott was going to fly home and surprise us, so I did not say anything until he called me at work later in the afternoon and I realized that he was not trying to surprise us. The desk at Helaman Halls had told him that the letter was not there! I told him about the phone message left that morning and he went straight to the desk and they handed him his mission call! Consequently, I found out about the arrival of Scott's mission call before he did.
