Personal letter from Carl.

Subject: Weekly update 3/26/99

Greetings again:
    My wife and I just returned from a visit to Montana. We spent last Sabbath with brethren in Helena and Great Falls. It was good to see everyone again, and very good to see Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Hudson of Hamilton, MT.
    Mr. and Mrs. Hudson wish me to thank all of you for your prayers for his illness. Mr. Hudson was able to drive over for Sabbath service in Helena last Sabbath. I understand that he has suffered a set-back and was hospitalized with pneumonia this week. Please continue to pray for Virgil.
    I received a phone call from my son Jonathan (in Baton Rouge, LA) informing me that Mrs. Mary Hughes of Tuscaloosa, AL, turned 99 this week! I baptized her about forty years ago, and she is still going strong! Next year we should have a real southern celebration with her!
     Mr. Meredith leaves for Washington, D.C. Monday for Passover and first day of unleavened bread. Mr. Ames leaves for Denver, and Mr. Hernandez leaves for Mexico City. Mr. Apartian will be in San Diego for Passover and first day, then go to Montreal for the remainder of the feast of unleavened bread. My wife and I will be in Reno for Passover and first day of unleavened bread, then back to San Diego. We will be in LA for the last day of unleavened bread. Have a good feast.

    Mr. Gerald Weston sent the following information for announcement this week
and during the days of unleavened bread. Please see that everyone is
informed.
