Hi Dick,

Still in Livingstone, going to Lusaka this afternoon. You should have received a fwd from Phyllis about the conference. It went very well, lots of positive response to the teaching -- they want me back next year. One pastor said, "He didn't mesmerize us, but he certainly did teach us. You can't argue with anything he said or you would be arguing with the Bible."

The man who organized the conference said that one unusual thing about this conference was that it kept increasing in numbers every day, the opposite of what usual happens. People were going home and calling others to tell them about what they were hearing and they just kept coming. So we started out with about 150 and ended up with perhaps 250-300.  They are  glad to have the doctrinal booklets we printed.

The schedule is demanding with 5 hours of teaching every day, but the Lord is gracious and has given strength. My voice is a bit strained, but not a problem. I still have five days of teaching to go.

Ukraine will celebrate Easter per the Orthodox calendar which puts it on the last Sunday of this month. But with their curious laws regarding holidays falling on weekends and their penchant for taking off as much time as possible, they tell me that businesses will be shut down for 9 days starting on the 26th. Jack and Gift send their greetings. Stewart is supposed to be at the conference in Lusaka, and Jack says that the tape fiasco should be cleared up very soon and without our having to pay any charges.

Zambian National Breakfast every day --- ughhh.  (Fried eggs, uncured bacon, baked beans, and toast)
