Dear Mr. Armstrong:
On the 29th of January of 1981, at 5:15 p.m., the seventh session of
the Ministerial Refreshing Program concluded here in Pasadena.
Above all I give thanks to God for having inspired you with such a
tremendous idea,as well as giving thanks to your entire Ministerial
Services team upon whom fell the great responsibility of being our
teachers during the three weeks of classes. We are also very thank
ful for the valuable notification from our director, Mr. Leon Walker,
who gave us appropriate notice well ahead of time so that my wife and
I could get ready for the trip from Temuco in Chile.
What most impressed us is the excellent organization of the program
and the teaching methods of the lecturers. All the knowledge we
received has a value for me which I cannot adequately explain in
words. But I can tell you that all of it will be of great help in
regard to our responsibilities in the Temuco congregation.
Please count at all times on our total and unconditional support, as
well as on our prayers that the Eternal our God miqht strengthen you
