Finally Submitted

Jordan's mission application is finally on its way to the church. It has been a real struggle to get here. There has just been one thing after another to get in the way.
Just a couple of examples:
First, when I called the dentists office to ask about bringing the form to them they decided that it had been a couple of days too long since his checkup (even though he had been back since then for a filling) and he would have to been seen again. But no problem, they could get him in in just 3 short weeks. I then scrambled to find a dentist that could see him. We did get him in in the next few days, but when they mailed the form to the bishop they did not fill it out fully. The bishop had to take it back to them to get it completed.
Second, his physical. Once again his regular doctor could not see him for more than a month. We did get him into another doctor, but they forgot to do his TB test. Jordan went back to get it done, but they sent the papers to the bishop without that information. We got a call from the stake Thursday night that they could not proceed without that. Yesterday I ran to the clinic to get a copy of that report. To be sure that it got in, I scanned it and emailed it to the stake. I did get a message back that they now have everything and can submit the application.
It has been clear to me during this process that the adversary does not want Jordan to go. More reason than ever that he should. The stake said that his call should come in about 2 weeks. We are thinking either the 18th or the 25th of this month. We now wait and are excited to begin the next step in the process.
