We have received word that the Johannesburg South Africa temple is seriously short of ordinance workers. In fact, two couples are leaving in May, so we felt we are needed, which has been emphatically emphasized by the Temple President.
We will leave Salt Lake on May 22nd. Our visas are valid for 11 months without renewal, we will most likely return just before then. Our health is good. We are blessed beyond our understanding and feel we should serve full time where we are truly needed.
We love each one of you so very much and pray for your well-being while we are gone.
With our love and greetings,
The Ensigns, Dale and Elaine

More News
Beloved Missionaries,
First and foremost, we talked to Abby, Elder Salisbury's wife yesterday and he is at home. He is gradually improving and each day an Elder from their ward comes to walk with him. We didn't inquire as to why but understand that the sepsis illness effected his heart, lungs and brain. Abby is a rock and a great blessing to our very dear Elder Salisbury. You can mail a get well greeting to him at this address:
3931 South 2175 East
Salt Lake City, Utah 84124
Next, we have had a fantastic few weeks as we have seen so many of our precious missionaies from Hartford days. They are Nate Woolf, Curtis Whalen, Sheryl Ludlow, Paivi Baker, Ben Campbell, Elder Rosenbeck, at the mall Aaron Peterson, and we ran into Jessica Nilsons parents and have her contact info and yesterday an email from Max Alberts. We realize you are busy but we do love hearing from you.
We understand that the Hartford Mission is going to become part of the Boston mission effective July first. That makes us sad but we suppose for economic reasons some missions are combining. Nevertheless, A TEMPLE will be built near Hartford on land previously owned by a Catholic gentleman who is pleased to see one of our beautiful temples on his site. Wouldn't it be GREAT if we could meet there for the dedication? Please email us or visit us if you can. Our email is deensign@yahoo.com and our phone is 801 992 3551. We would love to see your families.
We are arranging to serve another temple mission. We will report our progress. Last week we were fingerprinted to apply for Visas. It will be at least several months, perhaps into the fall, to complete the process.
We pray for you every day. We love each one of you. We keep very busy and will work at the Bountiful temple until our Visas come. Our testimonies of the truthfulness of this great work of the Lord have never been stronger than they are now. Please accept our love and greetings!
