Letter from President Babin before release….

Parents of Sister Ashley Noelle Stevens

   Sister Ashley Noelle Stevens will soon complete her  service as a full time missionary in the France Paris Mission. Her  scheduled release date will be 10 Dec 2015.

  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  Stevens  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 Stevens  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,

 

 

 

Frédéric Jean Babin

President, France Paris Mission
