Dear Bishop Christensen,

Elder Matthew Dalton will complete his missionary service on 2 Feb 2023 after faithfully serving in the North Dakota Bismarck Mission. His Certificate of Honorable Release has been emailed directly to him.

Elder Dalton has been diligent in fulfilling his mission and has demonstrated in meaningful ways his love for this work and for the people he has served.    While in our care, he has labored in the following areas: Minot, ND; Thief River, MN; Belle Fourche, SD; Williston, ND; Stanley, ND; Grand Forks, ND; Black Hills, SD; Bismarck, ND; and Aberdeen, SD. Not only has he changed the lives of those he taught, but he has also been a positive influence on his fellow missionaries and church members with whom he has served.  

As he transitions into the life of an everyday missionary, we hope that he will find the support and encouragement he needs to stay on the covenant path.   Elder Dalton is committed to continuing to serve our Heavenly Father and fellow man and he understands the blessings of service that the Savior taught at His last supper, "if ye know these things, happy are you if ye do them." 

Please express to Elder Dalton how much we love and appreciate his.  We will miss him and will continue to pray for his success and happiness as he begins this exciting time in his life. We are grateful to you for preparing and recommending such a wonderful missionary.  May the Lord continue to bless you as you carry out your sacred calling.

Sincerely,

W. Bradley Camp

Mission President

Dear Brother & Sister Dalton:

On 2 Feb 2023, Elder Dalton will complete his assignment as a missionary in the North Dakota Bismarck Mission.

He served faithfully in the execution of all his assignments. In each assignment, he worked effectively with his companions and the people in the areas where he labored. I personally enjoyed working with Elder Dalton as he served diligently and faithfully as an assistant. Elder Dalton has represented your family honorably and is a worthy representative of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

As Elder Dalton concludes his mission, he will need to adjust from being a full-time servant of the Lord to living his everyday life of work and school.  He has been blessed with many wonderful talents, which the Lord has helped him cultivate in the mission field. In order for him to keep utilizing those talents, will you help him continue to search for ways to serve the Lord?  Those talents have helped him gain strength and experience in the mission field that will make him a better son, a better Saint, and a better citizen.  Thank you for supporting him and sharing him with us.

May our Heavenly Father ever bless and sustain you and your family.

Sincerely,

W. Bradley Camp

Mission President
