"Hi Mom"

Today I had a small miracle happen, or as Wendy would call it "A Father in Heaven story". Let me start by saying... I get calls to my cell phone all the time with unknown numbers and I NEVER answer them. I figure, whoever it is, can leave a message, and when I get around to checking voicemail, I'll call 'em back...
Let me also say that I am horrible at answering my cell when I'm at work! Unless it's a work call, and a known person - I'm pretty lame at it. I'm just super busy, so anyone that knows me knows that it's hard to reach me during the day WHILE I'm at work..
OK - here is the miracle... and how it all comes together!
My washer broke on Saturday, so the GE Repairman had to come to fix it today. Once he came, and left, I was on my way to work. I'm driving in my car, and my phone rings. I look at the number, and don't recognize it, but.. I'm driving.. so I figure, I'll just see who it is.. As I pick it up - my finger hits the little button on the side that sends it directly to voicemail. For a split second I think - I'll just find out who it is later... then - I hit re-dial and dial the number back.. I have no idea who it is....
Mystery Person = "Hello?"
Me - "Uh, Hi" (I still have no idea who it is)
Mystery Person - "Hi Mom"
Me - (screech my car to the side of the road) "Alex - what are you doing?" (giant lump in my throat).
Alex - "Our VISA's were delayed so I get a 5 minute pass to call and let you know that we are not leaving on Monday as planned"
Ahhhhh - Pure Heaven!!!
The best part of the story is - a few minutes into the call "Hey mom, there is no timer on this phone, so I don't know how long we've been on - can you check your phone and see?" I check - "ah oh - 8:04"... Alex said "well it's an honor system thing, so I gotta go". Again... best, most obedient boy ever!
Everything lined up in my favor today:
#1 - I wasn't at work and crazily distracted
#2 - I called the number back
Now I understand even better Elder Benar's talk about "Tender Mercies".
