World Sankirtan Newsletter August 2020
It looks like Covid-19 was a blessing in disguise for the Vancouver templein August. I don’t remember ever seeing such a high score. It was the No. 9temple worldwide, with almost 7,000 book points.

Determinaiton to get the mercy
I was with Zoe one Monday morning outside Lower Hutt Mall in Wellington. It was such a cold day that Zoe told me she could no longer feel her toes.
