PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, October 31, 1980
Page 9
We are with you in spirit--please accept our thanks and gratitude
and appreciation for all you have done for the Work and for us!
Ron and Rosemary Wa�len
P.S. Perhaps a note of interest--I visited about four years ago with
a Mr. Prigeon, then 92 years of age, who worked at the same sawmill
and lumber company at the same time you were here in South
Mississippi, near Wiggins.
He remembered seeing you then but did
not actually meet you at the time.
But he did know you. He is
now deceased.
Also, the Infirmary where you spent time while ill
is, of course, long gone, having been replaced by two large modern
hospitals in other areas of Hattiesburg. We presently have only
two members from the Wiggins area.
Warmest Greetings, Mr. Armstrong:
My wife and
I
want to thank you for giving us a priceless privilege
of being mentally refreshed and spiritually rejuvenated through the
three-week Refreshing Program approved by you. We were in Pasadena
for a Sabbatical for the year 1977-78 which
I
call the great debacle.
A number of men in high positions were not supporting God's govern
ment through you, but were very subtle in their erroneous teachings
to us.
How thoroughly refreshing it is in October, 1980, to be taught by
capable men who desmonstrate by their words and behavior that they
will hold up your arms in supporting the government of God by
supporting you, the Apostle whom God has called to do the Work in
these end times. Contrary to our Sabbatical year, these men, and I
speak specifically of Mr. Tkach, Mr. La Ravia, Mr. Blackwell, aDd
Mr. Neff, are humble, friendly, candid and loyal ministers who are
helping us to understand the teachings God has revealed through you.
There is love and unity like I have not seen in many years.
Jess and Paula Ernest
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
There has never been a time when we have been more proud to be a
part of the Work of the living God.
We thank God daily for you, His Apostle, and the wonderful job he
is doing through you in getting the Church back on the track.
We thank you with all our hearts for this Refreshing Program, which
we feel is a thoroughly effective tool in getting the ministry in
tune, toned up and ready to better serve the brethren in the local
areas.

Mr. Tkach�
Rosemary and I would like to say thank you so very much for the
Refreshing Program we have just completed. We were given the Red
Carpet treatment while there! The classes were terrific, with
