The Words of the Becker Family |
Dear Mr. [Hyo Won] Eu,
More and more I became conscious of the urgency to spread the Divine Principle as the only way to rescue mankind. Here in Sweden people are awfully mislead by materialism, ignorance and false ideas and the worst of it is that they are even not aware of it. I strongly feel the necessity to talk with them so that they might recognize the truth and understand that Satan must come to a standstill.
My Swedish is improving and the language school started mid-March. Yet, in the hope to meet persons speaking a little German I go to youth groups and associations like the German-Swedish club. I also attend Christian groups and go to church to make contact after the services. So I like to drop some lines in this connection on the situation there, which stroke me very badly just discussing with people. Speaking on a whole, the churches are like museums without any atmosphere. They are empty even in a great holiday like Easter. (I took part in a special Easter celebration and had to siren as a light bearer.) Priests, although there are young and open minded ones among them, do not brother to think. One of them told me that it is not important to reflect, one just has to believe and that is all. The few people who come to the services do not really pray generally speaking and so do not have a relation to God. It is sad to see how lonely God is, being left like this.
In these weeks I am working with about a dozen girls, some of them Swedish, others foreigners. Ursula, a German girl, has already studied the Principle a good deal, but she needs a long time to seize the real essence. She is a hearty girl and feels at home with me, so we are going on step by step. Two other girls, both called Inge, are open-minded and very interested in the new ideas. But they are interested in so many other things too that it is sometimes hard to keep them. I found out that using my tape recorder I can make them listen and afterwards we have a good conversation. Just today came Monica a nice Swedish girl, and I do hope to see her soon again. We talked about problems in the world and the responsibility of man. Perhaps, she is the Swedish girl who really understands, I like her very much.
In the last days I started to go into the University library; maybe that among the students I find a prepared girl to help me bring salvation to this country.
Personally I get very much help. Now as I live in Stockholm city, my Swedish teacher tries to find a job for me nearby. I am thankful for this life and that I can work for the Father. He comforts me when I am lonely. On Parents Day I had a celebration with prayers, music and reading the Principles in the Swedish Language. I was happy to send a colored picture book as greeting from Sweden to Korea.
In the name of our True Parents
