You're calling me? I'm hurrying to come, but for a private visit. I greet synods and conventions from a distance, since I've learned from experience that most of them (to put it mildly) are rather troublesome affairs. So what's left? Support my rightful wishes with your prayers, so I may obtain what I'm eager for.

You call me? And I hasten, and that for a private visit. Synods and Conventions I salute from afar, since I have experienced that most of them (to speak moderately) are but sorry affairs. What then remains? Help with your prayers my just desires that I may obtain that for which I am anxious.
