Dear Brother & Sister Turley,

Your son, Elder T. Oliver Turley was recently called as a District Leader in the Massachusetts Boston Mission. Serving as a District Leader is a sacred calling that will require him to be at his very best.  In this position of trust, he is expected to lead the missionaries under his direction in all phases of the work, i.e. finding, teaching, baptizing, and the development of missionary skills and Christlike attributes.  In addition, he will help them improve through training and personal example as he serves with them in companion exchanges and district development meetings.  He is responsible, with the help of his fellow missionaries, in the training needed for their district to be effective at missionary work.  A District Leader sets the spiritual tone for his part of the Lord's vineyard.

Truly the Lord expects much from your son in calling him to this priesthood assignment.  He will benefit greatly from your prayers and encouragement while he carries these extra responsibilities.

I know Elder Turley is worthy to serve, and have the trust and confidence that he will move the work forward, and that many more souls will come unto Christ during his leadership.

We love your son.

Sincerely,
President Packard
