Greetings:

Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday that I was writing last week's update, and here we are again. This has been a productive week in many ways.

We were able to have a meeting of the board for CANADA Monday evening, putting in order many business items which were urgent for Canada. Mr. Laurie Nyhus was unable to attend because he was on a trip, and Mr. Stuart Wachowicz was also out of town on business, so we tabled which need more input. Mr. Charles Bryce is now President of the Canadian board, and Regional Director of the Canadian Work. He is excited with the positive movement in Canada, and we are pleased as well.

The Living Church News is now on the INTERNET for those with Internet access, and it has been printed and is ready for distribution through Pastors, Elders, and Video Group distribution. I presume shipments will begin today or tomorrow, and should be out to most areas by Sabbath after next. I hope the bugs (or bears!) have been worked out of our shipping system--but I'm sure not all have. So, if any of you do not receive shipments in the next ten days, I suggest that you then notify your Pastor for his attention.

My wife and I were in Los Angeles last Sabbath. Mr. Meredith had originally planned to be there, but decided to take a few days off to go to a cabin in the mountains for some much needed rest and recuperation. I suggested that he go farther north to a cabin I have in Montana, but he was dis-inclined to travel that far! Hopefully he can get away from time to time for both rest and to visit you brethren in as many areas as possible.

Passover and the days of unleavened bread are right around the corner. Mr. Meredith will be traveling to Washington, D.C. for Passover and the first day, then to Nashville, TN for the weekly Sabbath. He plans to be in Little Rock Arkansas for the last day of unleavened bread. Mr. Richard Ames is going to Denver, Colorado for Passover and the first day of unleavened bread, and to Orange County and Los Angeles Sabbath and last day of unleavened bread. Mr. Dibar Apartian will be at Headquarters for Passover--first day, and Montreal for Sabbath and last day of unleavened bread. Mr. Don Davis plans to be in Tucson for the Passover-first day, and Phoenix for the Sabbath; he plans to be in Stockton, CA for the last day. I plan to be in Reno for Passover--first day, and Orange County Sabbath, and Los Angeles for the last day of unleavened bread.

I do not have all of the plans for the field Pastors, but I am sure each of them will be quite busy serving you during this season. Please pray for safe travel for all of our brethren during this time, as highway travel is very dangerous. Satan hates God's people, and I am persuaded that he is very angry now, knowing that he has a short time left. Have a wonderful Sabbath. My wife and I will be in Helena, Montana this Sabbath and a few days next week.
