July 30, 2018 Letter from President Sorensen

Dear parents of Sister Giles,

Sister Hannah Rebekah Giles will soon complete her service as a full time missionary in the France Paris Mission. Her scheduled release date is 30 Aug 2018.

At this time we wish to thank you for your invaluable support of her mission through your letters and prayers. We feel certain you are anticipating a joyous reunion. Upon her return she should report immediately to her stake president in order to give an account of her mission, receive timely instruction, and receive her formal release.

During her mission, Sister Giles has served faithfully, has demonstrated an extraordinary attitude, testimony, and spirit, and developed qualities which exemplify the very best in the performance of missionary work. She has treated the various responsibilities she assumed here as a sacred trust. By her faith, humility and devotion to duty, often in the face of adversity, she became an effective teacher and witness of truth. The great personal qualities which she discovered and enhanced during her mission will be a source of strength to her and to all with whom she associates throughout her life.

Sister Giles will be remembered with fondness and love by many friends and members of the Church in France, as well as by her missionary companions. Her life has been enriched by learning the French language, by living in a foreign culture, and especially by serving others.

It has been our privilege to serve with her, observe her spiritual growth, and enjoy close association through personal interviews, and her weekly letters and accompanying reports. She is a fine young woman whom we love and for whom we wish the very best.

Sincerely,

Paul J. Sorensen

Président, France Paris Mission
