I did not receive an email from Spenci as expected, so I emailed the mission office:

Dear Mission Office,

I really don't want to be a difficult or hovering parent, so I really hope this email is not out of line or an annoyance. I know you are very busy. Elder Brinkerhoff is our oldest child so I realize I may be more concerned than is necessary. However, I did not receive the expected email from my missionary Elder Brinkerhoff yesterday, so I am just checking in to make sure that he is fine.

Thanks,

This is the reply I received. I love the tag line.


Sister Brinkerhoff,

Thank you for your email of concern. Every six weeks we have transfer in the mission, and during that week, transfers are pushed back to Tuesday. This is transfer week, so P-day has been moved to Tuesday. 

You should receive an email from him today! He is an incredible missionary!
