The Words of the Becker Family |
Dear Mr. [Hyo Won] Eu,
Winter is over, and summer started. The Swedes love their country and nature very much and won't miss a day to be outside in the open air, especially as the summer period is very short. So in Stockholm people prepare for the holidays already now, and it will not be long, that half the town moves to the seaside.
Soon also the meetings in the groups (either or not connected with the church) where I went to find people, will stop, so that I start to talk to single persons in the street hoping that my Swedish is not too bad to make myself understood. Nevertheless, I do not want to neglect the church, and to get people's confidence I have written articles to be published in the parish Papers, one on prayers, another one on gratitude and a third one on responsibility.
The reactions in the street are many times reserved, People are friendly and polite, but still it is rather difficult to get more deeply into contact with them. Yet ---seeing that many young people are attracted by some new revival movements which successfully work beside the church, I am convinced that many are searching for answers. In my opinion, the Swedes have a good cote, but are misled and spoilt by the American influence which is especially to be seen in the three large towns. In spite of this, love for nature is very strong (I understand them very well, I also love their woods and lakes and the open country), so I can tell them in this way of God's love.
In the depth of their heart there is a longing for a family life, which is expressed by their fondness of children. Often actions are started for children of all races and colors, and I heard that 570 Korean children were adopted. Children in Sweden recently wrote down in school what they are longing for, namely peace in the world and more love by the parents. So I will do my best to bring them to the Principle.
Nearly every day I talk to somebody and I worked more closely with about ten girls in the last weeks. On 17th of April I started a 40 days' action of fasting (I meal within 24 hours), praying and reading the Principles from 5-6 o'clock in the morning as well as going to the Holy Ground.
I cannot imagine to live without knowing the truth and I know that the Father called me just at the right time. My life belongs to Him, to our True Parents and to the restoration of the universe. May I be lead so wonderfully also in the future, may I find His children and bring them back to Him.
Father, give me a more deeper understanding of your feeling and thinking that I am prepared to take upon myself your suffering and your sadness over the broken creation and to participate in your joy of the restoration.
In the Name of our True Parents
Friedhilde Bachle [Becker]
