Dear Brother and Sister Bretzing,
We are grateful to have had Elder Matthew Drew Bretzing
serving in our mission. I’m sure his letters have shown the excitement he has
experienced while serving the people here. As we approach the end of his
mission it is time for us to prepare for his release.
Elder Bretzing
will be released and fly home on 08 Jul 2016.* Until that
time, we feel it is very important for him to continue to serve to the end with
all his heart, might, mind, and strength. We will try to make the planning
process as little of a distraction as possible and we encourage you to help him
to focus on his missionary efforts as well. Nevertheless, Elder Bretzing
will be informed about the details of his release and trip home. In order for us to prepare for
his release with as little distraction to him as possible, we ask you to
please email the following information to us at 2010879@ldschurch.org as soon as
possible:
1. Name and
location of the nearest major airport to the missionary's
home. (This is the airport where you would like your missionary to
arrive.)
2. Any change in your address or telephone number since
your missionary's mission call.
3. The E-mail address to which you would like your
missionary's return travel itinerary sent.
4. If you desire to come to Germany to pick up your
missionary, please let us know and also ask your stake president to contact me
regarding the request. The Church currently "discourages parents from
picking up missionaries." (Handbook 1 Section 4.10) Exceptions are
possible, however, under the right circumstances. If approved, further
instructions and a release form will be sent to you.
*If you have already made arrangements to pick up
missionary at the conclusion of his mission, please disregard the above return
flight date.
I hope that the last months of Elder Bretzing's mission
will be among the most treasured. We are thankful for the efforts and
dedication that he has given in service of the Lord. We are also thankful for
the support you have given him in this work.
May the Lord continue to bless you.
Sincerely,
Christian H. Fingerle, President Germany Berlin Mission
