A drive by shooting at the MTC?


Wednesday is Megan's p-day so we awaited the cherished e-mail. Well, we didn't get one, but we did get a phone call from the MTC. I was at work and Bridget called me to tell me the MTC called. She was sobbing so hard I could only understand the part, "The MTC called..." Of course, I thought it must be dreadful news to have upset Bridget so much. So I am trying to ask questions and listen through her tears, but I start thinking the worst...(How does someone die at the MTC... run over in the crosswalk on the way to the temple... reaction from an immunization... drive by shooting...). Then I start to tell myself, that wouldn't happen, but maybe one of them went a-wall... Finally, I piece together in between Bridget's sobbing that Sister Hatch just called to say she had the privilege of taking Megan shopping for a coat and that she was a wonderful girl. Oh, be still my little heart (it really was pounding by now). What a relief! I asked Bridget why she was crying so hard about that and she said that Sister Hatch just made her miss Megan soooooo much!
