PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, OCTOBER 21, 1983

the Feast was delightful, the sermons were powerful and inspir­
ing, but what really impressed me this year was the joy, love,
and enthusiasm that radiated from the faces of the brethren.

I would like to share with you how much I am truly enjoying this
Feast of Tabernacles! My husband (unconverted, but a very good
father and matel) will be joining us tomorrow and staying for the
rest of the Feast. He has really been looking forward to this as
a vacation, and I'm sure it will come to mean much more than that
to him. The people that he has to work around are really cruel
and hostile to him--the atmosphere here is quite different! Joy
and happiness abounding! Unity! God's people are bubbling over!
God's blessings are all around us.

I just returned from a glorious, spiritually fulfilling Feast in
Dunoon, Scotland. Your live satellite transmission was tremen­
dous, with many applicable points for spiritual and physical
Christian living. The building of a spiritual foundation and
developing of righteous character for the coming Kingdom had
quite an impact on me. All problems and questions that I had
meditated about were answered by the greatly-inspired ministers.
I have returned home with a greatly-increased drive to constantly
improve and grow in God's true Church.

It was a special
joy to have you stay and watch�eh1n t:rieWork" with all of us.
Thank you again!
Also, it was very encouraging to notice how
well you seemed. We once again are very thankful to the Eternal
for keeping you in health and vigor.
Mr. & Mrs. W.R. {Silverton, OR)
I just had to write to you in order to express my thanks for help­
ing to make this 1983 Feast a most memorable experience for both
my husband and myself.
We wi11 thank God every day for the
opportunity to partake in something so wonderful. Never have we
experienced such friendliness, love, helpfulness and brotherhood
as we experienced in Norfolk, Virginia this yearl But, the best
parts were your beginning and closing messages via satellite and
the film "Behind the Work."

My family and I observed the Feast of Tabernacles in Rapid City,
South Dakota and we all learned so much this yearl I am 15 years
old and only this year did I truly come to understand what the
Feast of Tabernacles really meant. The sermons had so much of an
effect on the way we do things! We are doing most things as a
family now and are getting in some study every day.
