I must be honest, on Saturday morning I looked at the date and I saw that it was August 27. Then the thought hit me that it was mom’s birthday on the 26th. I prayed for you and hoped that you had the happiest day on Friday. I love you so much Mom, I can't wait to be with you camping next year.
Well this past week was really busy with planning for the training on Friday. I was praying on Wednesday to know if we should go through with our training about knowledge, but I was led on a little scripture search by the Spirit, and we taught about correction. We emphasized the talk that Elder Christofferson gave in conference last April. The other two elders taught about the Sacrament. The training went really well, and after Elder Lew told us about the other leadership training in the capital and the two subjects of the training were correction and the Sacrament. It's awesome that the Lord thought it necessary for our whole mission to hear about these subjects. Unfortunately we missed two days of work getting our presentation ready.
On Sunday the Bishop was released and the Bishopric was reorganized. I was touched to see how emotional he was as the Stake President spoke the words saying he would be released. He is a wonderful man. I wrote him a little note to let him know how much I appreciate him.
During the day I had a thought that helped me a lot when I thought about all of the people that are praying for me at all times during the day. I worked last night giving all I could give. I love you all. Love, Elder Calvert
