—Have you been losing your Mags?—Don't lose your marbles!

SOME HOMES HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY RECEIVING THEIR MAILINGS. We want to apologise to those of you who have been faithfully reporting & tithing & yet are having trouble receiving your editions of the Family News. We are very concerned about this & will be investigating it further to determine the source of the problem, which could be a mistake on the part of your Reporting Office, the Postal System, late reporting or a number of other reasons, mostly on your end!—Dad

HOWEVER, WE WANT YOU TO KNOW WE ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM & are trying to sort it out & are very sorry for any of you who have been inconvenienced, felt unloved, uncared about or cut off. If you report & tithe regularly, you are certainly deserving of the whole Mag, & we are trying our best to get it to you in the most effective & efficient manner. We ask for your prayers in this task, as due to the many recent changes in our reporting system & in trying to teach & train the WIMs, CROs & LIMs to handle & process your reports, there have been a number of unavoidable mistakes.—But the problem is more likely with your P.O., Home or recent moves!

WE ARE VERY SORRY AND ASK YOU TO PLEASE BE PATIENT, remembering that each Reporting Office handles hundreds of reports every month & are new at the job & are trying to give you the best service possible. If you continue to miss your mailings but are reporting & tithing faithfully. Please write to WS, PF 241, 8021 Zurich, Switzerland & we will try to work out the problem immediately. Thanks so much.—Please keep us all in your prayers.—We need'm!—Peter Amsterdam on behalf of M&M, WS, WIM, CROs & LIMs.

P.S. REMEMBER, YOU'RE NOT LIKELY TO GET SAFE POSTAL SERVICE IN PLACES LIKE Africa, Mideast, Asia‚ etc., except the fully developed countries.
