I'm not Linda

"Grabill Missionary Church, this is Hope."

I'm only here this week, so I can't answer all of your questions.

I can tell you that Kelley Sewell is not here. He's in Belize right now.
And Sarah isn't here either.
I can try to connect you to one of the interns, but their office is in the basement, so I don't even know whether or not they're in the building.

No, Star is out for the rest of the day.
(That's why I answered the phone.)
And Linda isn't here, either.
(That's why I answered the phone.)
Yes, I can schedule you for a time for your directory photo.
There aren't any slots that are completely open, but no one is taking the full 15 minutes, so we can fit you in.

Yes, Jon is here.
He's my dad.
I'm Hope Swanson.

I am not Linda.
I can't give you all of the answers that she could.
And I'm sorry that Star isn't here to help.

Kelley is gone, Sarah is gone, Pastor Bill is gone, Lee is gone, Marsha is gone, Kim is gone, Linda is gone.
Right now, I'm the only person in the building.
I hear noises, and I expect someone to come around the corner, but it's just me.

And now I'm going to lock up and leave.
