The Sanders Brothers

On March 9th of this year, we got a new missionary in our mission by the name of Elder Sanders. On July 26th of this year, another Elder Sanders from another mission was heading home after completing two years of service. Since the other Elder Sanders happened to be flying through the Salt Lake International Airport, which just happens to be in our mission, a certain Mama Sanders far away in Oklahoma thought it would be really fun for them to see each other during the layover between flights. President Winn and I agreed, so I made up some crazy story and called up our Elder Sanders to tell him that he would need to go to the airport with me to pick up some visa waiters. He, of course, had no reason to believe that his mission president's wife would flat out lie to him, so he willingly accompanied me to the airport. Mama Sanders was so right. It was really fun for them to see each other. It was a blessing and opportunity for me to witness the tender reunion of these two brothers.
