Dear Parents and Priesthood Leaders;
Please do not respond to this email. Our Inboxes are overloaded, and we’ll give you more details as we have them.
Because of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the Church has decided to pull all non-native Missionaries out of South Africa. North American Elders and Seniors will all go to the US on a flight on Monday or Tuesday. All other non-South African citizens will also leave later in the week.
Those with less than 90 days left will be released and self-isolate at home for 14-days. Others will be re-assigned to another mission in their home country.
We have pulled all the Missionaries out of Lesotho today, and are moving the North American Elders to Durban in the next couple of days in preparation for leaving.
We are also getting South African young Elders assigned to our mission who were serving in Missions that are closing, so the work will continue here.
This is the Lord’s work and we know that no unhallowed hand will stop it for very long.
We appreciate all the prayers in our behalf. Thank you for your patience as we work through this process. We will keep you informed.
Best wishes
President Lines

Bishop Moser,
We are receiving information in bits and pieces from the missionary department. I hope to have a little clearer picture of all that will be required soon. One thing that I do know for certain is that I have been instructed to release all missionaries after a 14 day period of self-isolation. I will send you additional information as it becomes available.
Thanks for your patience,
President Goodwin
