Hi Rev.Jenkins,

All the New Mexico family led by Rick and Janis Schnorr, and assisted mightily by the respected Sen. Boitano, together brought a very well attended event where nary a person left before the conclusion of the program, but rather, lingered to talk and visit with one another.

Many people in attendance expressed the sense of feeling spirit world's closeness without having spoken to one another. In her room after the event, Jun Sook Nim shared great satisfaction with the caliber of the people in attendance and the steady eye contact and nods of aggreement she encountered from the head VIP table with Governor Cargo and Dr. Parkman, amongst others. High school/early college-aged second gen brought lots of guests and were very involved in the campaign and program!

Victory for True Family and America!

Mark

My report follows:

130 New Mexicans gathered to welcome Mrs. Jun Sook Kwak Moon at the Sheraton Uptown in Albuquerque, NM and hear the UPF message of Peace calling us to be 'One Family under God'. Clergy, elected officials, community leaders, and families were moved by a program, planned from inception, to bring the political and spiritual spheres into oneness.

NALA founding member, Eddie McCray sung a wonderful Navaho prayer, during which time women representing different races on behalf of all in attendance came together silently on stage to repent for our sins and wrongs toward one another and make a new beginning possible through the Holy Burning Ceremony. Spiritual world messages were read by Rev. Mark Hernandez, who emceed the entire program and also presented the AFP power point on the five universal principles.

New Mexico State Senator Mark Boitano presented a proclamation from New Mexico's State Senate expressing its members' kudos to the Universal Peace Federation: to Dr. Moon's message of peace; and encouraged all New Mexicans to embrace the five core peace principles. He personally introduced Governor David Cargo, who welcomed guests noting that we must bring peace by removing the barrier of racism. As governor of NM, he was the first to make sure that minorities were given posts in his administration. He expressed deep appreciation and fondness for the clergy in attendance.

Rev. Rick Schnorr, NM's state leader, led the Blessing of Marriage with Janis his wife. That moved the program seamlessly into Dr. Allen Parkman's talk on the importance of the family from a socio-economical view. It was refreshing to hear him state that prosperity was not just material, but true prosperity was being able to go to sleep beside a wife with whom you shared a committed marriage. Dr. Parkman is the senior ranking professor at UNM's Anderson School of Management and the nation's top researcher on the ill-effects of no-fault divorce.

The Pilgrim's Rest Baptist Church Choir sang their beautiful gospel faith to the audience. All were deeply touched. Youth from the Albuquerque family church also presented songs which warmed everyone's hearts.

The evening was highlighted by Jun Sook Nim's reading of the Peace Message. It brought grace to all those in attendance. Her delivery was masterful and her opening remarks quite touching.

A noted area minister and former President of the Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, Rev. Jessie Dompreh closed the evening with a call to all that we be re-committed to marriage and family, emphasizing that peace learned in the family will bring peace in the community and the world.

Five new Ambassadors were appointed at the conclusion of the night's festivities and many wonderful testimonies were collected from the guests that lingered in the afterglow.
