Dear Sister Kaisley Larsen,

Your full-time missionary service comes to an end on 18 Nov 2023.  You should report to your Stake President to be released as soon                                                                                                                                                        as you arrive home.  Remember that you are still a missionary and are expected to continue to comply with the rules of missionary conduct until you                                                                                                                                                    are officially released by your stake president.

The day has arrived for an honorable release as a full-time missionary.  You are departing from a field of labor and returning to your family--but you                                                                                                                                                  will not cease being and becoming a missionary.  A release as a full-time missionary is a call to serve as a lifelong missionary.  Preach My Gospel                                                                                                                                                    missionaries always honor this sacred obligation.

Sister Larsen, as a missionary you have touched the lives of many missionaries, leaders, members and nonmembers.                                                                                                                                        You have developed numerous talents and have a great personality and earnest testimony.  I know that you have drawn closer to your Heavenly Father through                                                                                                                                your obedience and diligence.  And most of all, you have become a wonderful disciple of Jesus Christ and your countenance reflects a mighty change in heart.  I have                                                                                                                        felt your spirit as you have taught and as you have ministered to the needs of other missionaries along your journey laboring in the vineyard.  We have relied on your                                                                                                          compassionate service and good judgement.

You will go home knowing that your service has been a blessing to others and has helped strengthen your own testimony of the Savior as you have become more like Him.                                                                                                            It was such a joy for us to watch your daily effort in laboring to accomplish your Preach My Gospel goals.  May you continue in that valiant effort toward excellence all of                                                                                                                your earthly life by your daily focus to be a capable and dedicated spiritual child of our Father in Heaven.

Faithfully yours with love,

Michael C. Smuin
