Sigrun and I fasted together for 20 days

This month we celebrated the "Day of All Things" in deep gratitude and affection to the True Parents and all brothers and sisters in the world. By all our heart we wish that until the next holiday many people will have accepted the mighty message of the Divine Principle as the true way of restoration and will walk together with us on this way.

At this time our thoughts are centered on the European 'Conference which we are looking with great joy and from which we are sure to receive many new impulses for the mission work and deep connection with all our brothers and sisters. Afterwards we shall stay for some days in the German headquarters and want to learn a lot.

A very positive Swedish girl comes frequently and helps to talk to new visitors. It is wonderful to observe how people begin to see the truth clearer and clearer and start to realize it in practice.

This month we have laid some special condition; Sigrun and I have fasted together 20 days. The discussions with young people in the street are wonderful, and we would like to take these positive and open--minded people straight away home from the street.

At my surprise three young girls whom I invited quite at my start in Sweden called me on the telephone. Ulla, Bengt Eva as well as a young Catholic nun, who already has studied four chapters, are very interested and want to hear more.

At the time being we are distributing invitation with different texts in student's flats and in the subway.

On the field of anticommunist work a lot has to be done. The Swedish group "Democratic Alliance" which also sent a delegation to the WACL -- Conference has a very positive program, still they have not enough strength to get through, so that more and more people are directly or indirectly influenced by communism.

Deeper and deeper I learn to understand why in history the erection of a basis took such a long time. In this way I also learn to appreciate more the value of our Master's message. Only by this truth we are in a position definitely to conquer Satan.

In the Name of the True Parent
