August 15, 2011

Well another week has passed. My companion is nearing the end of his mission. I am sure he is feeling a lot of emotions and it makes our relationship a little up and down. I love him with all of my heart, and I learn so much with him, but as with any other relationship it is a little bit of work. He is one of my closest friends I have had in my life. He corrects me and I appreciate it very much.

I don't have a whole lot to say about the week of work. I feel like the whole mission is kind of catching its feet right now with the transition of the President. He teaches us how to do missionary work, exactly how the Savior would have us teach. He doesn't mix in "his" opinion, because his opinion is the scriptures. When he answers questions, he uses scriptures and the words from modern day prophets and apostles. He encourages us to always use a reference, so we never teach something false as a truth. He came to our Stake last night and gave a city-wide fireside. Almost our whole zone was there, and it was wonderful to see President Martins socializing before the meeting. He is an amazing man. I would love for you to be able to meet him someday. I feel a lot of love for him and his sweet wife. He is truly amazing. I respect him very VERY much. During the middle of his talk last night, he stopped and said "Pedro Henrique da Silva" or some Brazilian name, because out in the crowd he recognized someone from his mission. He said after I'll give you a big hug. I really, really like him. I love you all!

Love,

Elder Calvert
