We were set to leave on vacation for England and it was my missionary farewell the Sunday before and I still hadn't received my mission call, even though the papers had been sent in weeks before. My Stake President had to call Salt Lake and shake the info out of them. He called me at 6:30 in the morning and told me I was going to London. At first (since I was groggy from the early phone call) I thought he was talking about our vacation plans, so I said that yes, we were going to London on vacation next week. He then repeated that my mission call was to London.
So that's how I got my mission call. I went to London on vacation and then returned 6 weeks later as a missionary.
