Greetings everyone! I returned last Sunday to San Diego from the Feast of Tabernacles. All of the reports I have received indicate that we had a very spiritually uplifting Feast of Tabernacles. I attended in St. Sauveur, Quebec, and Cranbrook, British Columbia (Canada). I was in Jackson, Wyoming…

Greetings everyone: They say "time flies when you are having fun!" I must be having a great deal of fun—this week has flown by faster than last. My wife is visiting our grandchildren (and their parents of course) in Minnesota this week, so much of the detail work for our department is falling on…

Greetings everyone: Some people start their reports with jokes. That's fine with me, but I prefer facts - like: Why do Americans say something and mean something else? For instance, why in the world do we call it Labor Day when most of us are "officially" expected to take off that particular day?…

Greetings everyone: Mr. Apartian is in Phoenix this Sabbath. Mr. Winnail is in Helena, Montana. I am here in San Diego, like a bird in a cage, waiting for his turn to fly away to heavenly Montana! Last Sabbath Mr. Fall had a special weekend of activities in Los Angeles, which drew young people…

Greetings! If you received this week's update in "PDF" format, you immediately saw a dramatic change in the heading! Why the change?
