From Elder Calio:
"Good afternoon Sister McMullan!
Sorry if I am sending this to you right now but I did not have the connection this afternoon and so my emails did get sent out!
Thanks for your email, I really appreciated it!
It is really a pleasure to serve with your son! He has a great spirit with him and his desire to serve the Lord is incredible!
I wanted to share with you that when I saw you, your husband, and Elder McMullan coming in the Mission Office I had a strong feeling that I was going to be his companion and that the Lord bounded us for this special period of time!
I am not a perfect missionary but I know that the atonement of Jesus Christ is infinite and that it can change us! I know that this process has already begun in your son and he is changing, he is becoming like the scripture and the missionary handbook say, an effective advocate of the Lord!
I was training another missionary last transfer and I know I am not supposed to compare but I just wanted to tell you that I was impressed by your son preparation and knowledge! He did not go to the MTC but he is still strong and powerful as all the others that came in the mission field with him!
He shared his goal with me, 24 months! No 6 weeks, no 3 months and then we see how it goes but a full 24 months mission at the service of the Lord!
I told him that we would have tried to be best friend here on the mission field and probably even after and he has been a great man! He opened up and he talks with me a lot! I love him to death!
He works hard, he is obedient, he is consecrated, he wants to learn, he wants to improve, he wants to do all he can to serve the Lord now and to stay on the mission field!
Thanks for raising such a great young man!
You and your husband and your family are fantastic!
It has been a pleasure to meet you!
Have a great week and say hello to your family!
Sincerely,
Elder Gioele Caliò "
