What fun watching Ethan grow up from a baby to a toddler, this year. He is really cheerful and loving. Great hugs! Here he is with his Granddad, at his birthday party and taking his first steps. Photos taken by his proud Granddad, Phil and Aunt Gloria.

Fun with Brenden Siegel 2009

We love having Brenden, who’s 4, for “sleepovers.” When he does we like to take him places. He’s really easy to handle when he is

the only one with us. Photos, starting upper left: At Sea World

San Diego, and at the Wild Animal Park, Escondido. Brenden was a

“Little Lamb” in the Adventurer’s club at their church last year, and

here he is graduating.

Gareth will be 8 on his next birthday. He’s being home-

schooled now by his parents. He’s really crazy about Ethan

(above, left.) In the second photo he’s working on some classwork during a “sleepover.” Here you see him with “Grandmother”

Adventurer class.

Amy, Roger, and their children, Nathan and Alyssa still live on the Island of Paata. This year a missionary group built the second floor of the grade school they have been working on, bringing the grade levels they can serve up through eighth grade. Here are some photos taken this year, clockwise: Roger’s Birthday, Paata SDA Church, Alyssa’s Birthday Picnic in Guam & Amy and kids on Father’s Day.

Mentone Vegetarian Cooking

School

This Spring, we worked with a great team of

volunteers at our church to conduct a series of 6

classes (Sundays only), promoting the benefits,

and teaching the hows and whys of the plant-based

diet. Again, the Lord blessed throughout, in

spite of Marlene’s starting the class with laryngitis!

(Helen taught in her place.) Photos: The attendees one night, and Marlene making

a point.

Vegetarian Seminar, Lamont, CA

Early in August, Phil and I accepted an invitation from

old friends, Rebecca and Errol Perilla, to conduct a weekend seminar at their church near Bakersfield.

Photos: Phil preaching on Sabbath, Phil helping

prepare for the class, and Marlene with many of the

volunteers who helped make the Seminar a

success.

Canto Bello Chorale

Marlene continues singing with the

Canto Bello Chorale, a really super group of singers. We have

4 to 5 concerts a year. Phil here and Helen and Gloria

(below), are Marlene’s greatest fans. Right lower,

Day. The solo Marlene sang is “God Bless the

USA.”

Marlene’s Fun

Marlene is leading her church’s Pathfinder and Adventurer Club,

part of the church’s youth ministry. Thanks to the families involved, the club is growing.

Garden Fun“Win some, lose some,” they say.

This year the frost took a lot of our

fruit. However, we got beautiful

garlic (including elephant), beets,

pumpkins (planted by Gareth and

Brenden), and lots of okra and

squash.

Here the boys Harvesting their Giant pumpkins.

Phil with one giantgarlic.

Phil’s FunPhil brings home orchid plants on a regular basis, so now we own

about 30! He’s an avid computer buff, photographer, weather

observer (on his personal weather station), and music lover. All this in addition to keeping up on the

latest health news, which he shares with the Spanish group at our church monthly. Photos: some of our orchid collection. Phil took this photo of a neighbor’s cactus

flower.

August TripIn late August, we took a long anticipated trip that started in Washington, D.C. and ended in

Pittsburgh, PA. We had a pleasant tourist trip in D.C. and then visited

Marlene’s family and friends in Ohio and PA.

Here, Phil by the Capitol and photos from our camping trip with Marlene’s sis, Lynda and hubby, Mark. We camped in Elk County, spotting elk both nights we were there. Great fun!

one Sunday afternoon with Northwestern High School, Class of 1959. Here’s the photo taken of the group on

A Heartfelt MessageThis has been a grand year, one that brings us 365 days nearer to the second coming of the One whose birth we are celebrating at this wonderful season of

the year. We have elected a new president, seen great national financial problems, the wars in Afganistan and Iraq continue escalating…

What are some of the signs that Jesus is coming soon?The Scriptures in Matthew 24:6, 7, 14 say:

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see thatye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass,

but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdomagainst kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and

earthquakes, in divers places. . . And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;

and then shall the end come.”“In the last scenes of this earth's history war will rage. There will be pestilence,

plague and famine. The waters of the deep will overflow their boundaries. [sound like global warming?] Property and life will be destroyed by fire and

flood. We should be preparing for the mansions that Christ has gone to prepare for them that love Him.”

May our Lord and Savior be especially close to each one of you in whatever time remains for us to prepare for His coming.

All our love, Phil and Marlene
