Yesterday Eddie got his second and final shot for the MMR vax that is required for his green card application. Its been a long road getting ready to submit the paperwork.
A senior missionary (Elder Ballard) serving in our ward in England gave us the phone number of a place in Las Vegas that does travel vaccinations. So Eddie called to set up an appointment. The first time he called he found out that the office was open 24 hours and he didn't need an appointment. He told me and I thought, "Thats kinda weird. Why would an office that only does vaccinations be open 24 hours? Oh well, this is Vegas, I guess it makes sense!" Eddie called again to try to find out their location and if he really didn't need an appointment. The person on the other end of the phone couldn't understand him. He called one more time and this time there was too much background noise in the office, and he couldn't hear the person that answered. After 3 calls, and very little information, he was fed up and told me it was up to me to make his appointment!
So I called and this was the conversation I had with the vaccination office.
Him "Hello?"
Me "Hi, I'm calling because my husband needs to come get some shots?"
Him "Ok"
Me "When are you open?"
Him "24 hours, we serve shots all day"
Me "Does he need to make an appointment?"
Him "No he doesn't need to make an appointment!"
Me "Do you do the MMR vaccine?"
Him "The what?"
Me "The measles mumps and rubella shot?"
Him "I don't know what you're talking about."
Me "Who am I calling?"
Him "Such and such bar."
Me "OOOOHHH! I thought I was calling a vaccination office! Sorry! My husband has called like 3 times and we couldn't figure out what was going on!"
We'll be sending in the paperwork sometime next week. We should know our green card interview date within 90 days. If you could all remember us and our application in your prayers we'd really appreciate it!

so why did Elder Ballard know about this place? They must have been so confused about the appointment question.
The phone number was one number off!
This is such a fantastic story. Classic Vegas.
