Greetings Everyone: It has been a while since I last wrote a weekly update. I had a very wonderful visit with the Philippine ministry and brethren. My trip over was marred by the cancellation of my flight from Osaka, Japan, to Manila, which caused a twenty—seven hour delay in reaching Manila. That…

Another busy week for all of you, I am sure. Mr. Meredith has been buried this week in writing to meet editorial demands. Mr. Ames and his staff are working on the edits of a new booklet Mr. Meredith has just completed (to be announced by Mr. Meredith). We are working hard to finalize the feast…

I hope that your week has gone well. With the end of March, we have now completed the first quarter of the year 2000. God has certainly guided the Work, and His Work has grown consistently in most every area. According to preliminary reports we came in under budget for the general conference in…

My wife has indicated that I should shop for a hearing aid. It is not that I have a problem hearing people who speak distinctly, in a reasonably quiet environment. But when in a crowd of people (that is a dozen or so) the conflicting sounds get all mixed up before they enter my ear—and it is a real…

The work here continues according to the usual pace this time of year. Plans are in place for headquarters ministers traveling out for the Spring Holy Days. Dr. Meredith will be going to Louisville, KY for Passover and the first day of Unleavened Bread; Mr. Richard Ames will be going to Kansas City…

Greetings everyone: Last week I was unable to write an update because we were up to our eyebrows in preparation for the general ministerial council to be held here in San Diego. We have just completed a meeting with the International Regional Directors-our final meeting of the week. Many of the…

Greetings Everyone: Reports to my office indicate that most of you are blessed and happy. This week has been chock full of catch-up work and unexpected happenings like the computer virus someone from (!!!) Montana gave me. I am not going to name the person because I believe (he or she) was totally…

February 18, 2000

Greetings Everyone: We are experiencing spring-like weather here in San Diego. We have had some much needed and appreciated rain for the past week or so. I suppose those of you in the northern states are seeing some moderation of temperatures that indicate the deep cold days are over for this…

February 11, 2000

Greetings Everyone: We had an enjoyable visit with the brethren in Minneapolis last Sabbath. A number traveled from central Wisconsin to attend with the "Twin Cities" church, which brought the total attendance up to about 85. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and the opportunity to visit…

February 03, 2000

Greetings Everyone: This week has been beautiful here. We have received some much-needed rain in southern California, and the temperatures have been "summer" perfect-that is in Montana! Mr. Richard Ames has taken a few days off to visit his mother in Tucson this week. Things have gone very…

January 28, 2000

Greetings Everyone: As we end the first month of 2000, we have mixed feelings about the financials for the month. Income is steady and on projection, but I think expenses are above projections. The net effect is not desirable. We must contain costs in order to remain on target. Mr. Meredith and…
