His confidence and His love becomes deeper and deeper

Dear Mr. [Young Hwi] Kim,

Again and Again I experience the intensive and absolute validity of the Divine Principles. In this connection I am referring also to the many prepared persons being lead to the Divine Truth. In many cases there can be very accurately recognized who in the family had laid the basis for the member being finally prepared to understand, as well as the single positions the different members take. My gratitude for God's mercy, His confidence and His love becomes deeper and deeper; and great is my joy that I am allowed to know more and more the heavenly Father through our True Parents.

Last month I could come into contact with some new people. A young man studying theology is very well prepared and would able to understand in case he opens wider his heart for God. He told me of a group living in the mountains in the north of the country praying and fasting for the return of Christ. Some days before, I desired that people would intensively pray with me to pay the indemnity for this country. The crimes already committed even by children increase day by day, and month by month the chaos becomes greater and greater. Recently I was told by a young girl that some of her friends go to church, not because they are believing in God, but just to be assured to find better comrades whom they can trust more. Contacts of this sort are possible, because also in active churches one does not talk about God. I heard that in one of the protestant churches they are paying the members of the choir for each audition and each performance.

On God's Day Margo and I finished the translation of the first chapter of the Study Guide. A Swedish teacher is now correcting the manuscript, while we are starting the second chapter. Another Swedish girl is, at the time being, translating some news from the Swedish papers into English, so I hope to send some articles for the Master's periodical within soon.

My former employer will study the Principles in English when she is on vacation by the end of this month. At the beginning of this year I gave up my work as nursery help, as I had the chance to earn more money for a new center. I am working now as a nurse in an old-age asylum where I sec much suffering and loneliness. I hope to serve this country also in this way. With 8 days of fasting in this month I like to lay new conditions for the Principle work, for following month I intend to further concentrate the missionary work and pray that the Father will accept the god will and give His blessing.

Also thankful I am seeing that my physical mother is full of gratitude for the message of the Divine Principle. In her last letter she wrote she feels in heart connected with all missionaries all over the world and prays for them.

In deep gratitude to our True Parents-in Their Name
