Dear President Wilmarth,

We are pleased to report that Elder Abram Ashton Gubler a member of your stake, will soon be released from his mission.  Sister Phillips and I will miss Elder Gubler and have enjoyed getting to know such a fine young person.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful, and dedicated missionaries in the China Hong Kong Mission.

Elder Gubler's certificate of release is enclosed. He will be instructed to report to you to receive an official release.

We express our thanks to those who have made it possible for him to serve, especially to you, for your concern and kindness shown to Elder Gubler and his family.  The many months away from family and friends are a challenge for all missionaries but Hong Kong provides a wonderful opportunity to serve other children of our Heavenly Father.

We kindly ask that he be given frequent opportunities to share his testimony and an opportunity to serve as soon as possible. We know that you will assist him to re-adjust and pray that he may always remain faithful. We also hope that Elder Gubler will be given the opportunity to influence other young people to prepare themselves to serve in the mission field.

Thank you again for your assistance. May the Lord continue to bless you in your calling.

Sincerely,

Dennis L. Phillips, President
China Hong Kong Mission

The Last One

最後嘅你哋好

Well this week is my last week and it has been really bittersweet! I gave a talk/testimony on my last Sunday at church and it gave me a feeling i cannot describe. I don't have too much time today but I just want to say how much I have loved my mission and the people here so much! I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and am grateful for the atonement in my life. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord for 2 years and surround myself with amazing people. I have learned so much these past 2 years.  Hard to put into words. I am very grateful for all those who have supported me through my mission and for those who have written me letters or emails or prayers on my behalf. It really meant so much to me and made a huge difference in how I felt. So I would just like to thank you all for your love and support.

My home coming talk will be on August 18th at 12:00 pm at the Milo Way chapel. I would love to see you there.

Elder Gubler
