It has been a busy week, filled with lots of interviews in Rotterdam.

Another missionary coaching interview session was drawing to a close.

After being reassigned from the Missouri Independence Mission, this was the first time the young sister missionary and I had met together.

Like the many other coaching interviews that day, we’d shared lots of insights together, but as usual, time had passed by too quickly for us.

It was time to close out the session, and I thanked the young sister missionary for her hard work, and wished her every success in the weeks ahead, until we met again.

We got down on our knees to close our session in prayer.

I started the prayer, sharing a few thoughts and expressing gratitude to Sister Jorgensen for her efforts in the mission since her arrival here, only a few short weeks ago. I mentioned her name again…

….And then it happened!

“𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑱𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒓 𝒏𝒐𝒕?” I thought….

In that moment, I couldn’t remember – I certainly wasn’t sure!!!

Thinking further to myself – “I am sure it is…..but what if it isn’t?”

….“Perhaps I should check…?”

I stopped speaking.

I moved around a little, uncomfortable at my realisation, and opened my eyes, to check her nametag.

At that moment, realising that something wasn’t quite right, she too, opened her eyes.

Looking at each other, smiling, it was in fact 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑹𝒆𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔!

We laughed.

We laughed again (a little harder).

It was just so funny.

Somehow – we managed to compose ourselves and I finished offering a prayer.

I don’t think either of us will ever forget those memorable seconds in laughter…

It was just so silly and yet so special, I’m sure it’ll connect the two of us together to that moment – forever!

I won’t ever forget Sister Jorgensen (oops) Sister Reynolds name ever again!!!!

Have you ever made a silly mistake?
