May 9, 2011

Happy Mother’s Day! Everything worked out just fine with getting back home and we didn't have any problems. It was such a wonderful day yesterday. I felt great thinking about you just smiling and saying you love me Mommy. Your love for me just radiates mom and it fills me. Thank you so much for encouraging me and supporting me so valiantly. I love you so much. I'm trying to let your love motivate me. While talking to Josh yesterday, he said when you feel sad tomorrow, think about how great it was to talk, rather than, oh man I have to wait until Christmas. I have tried to do that, and not dwell on the time until the next call, but rather be grateful for yesterday. My heart is a little tender but I'm doing okay. It is very full of love for our family.

In the blessing Dad gave me, he told me about the importance of bridling your passions. I have trying to bridle and channel all of my love for my family into this work. I'm so grateful I can be with you all forever. Another year sometimes brings tears to my eyes, but I'm looking forward to forever. There is a scripture that talks about no more death or tears or pain in Revelations. It says that God shall wipe away the tears from our eyes. As my heart was aching this morning, I kneeled in prayer and it was as though the Lord was holding my burdens. Thank you for raising me and loving me. Thank you for motivating me. Thank you for leading me The new family that we are teaching, has five daughters, a son, a mom and dad, a grandma, and an aunt. Some of the daughters are married. They are a really receptive family and made breakfast for us when we taught them all together.

Love, Elder Calvert
