The Words of the Hernandez Family |
Dear Families -- Precious Brothers and Sisters of District 9,
I personally want to thank all of you who have made your contributions and encourage those who are in the process of doing so, for your helping from your hearts to support our True Parents' recent providentially significant World Assemblies held on American soil -- in New York on Nov 22 and in Vegas on Nov 27. I hope you were able to view True Father's NY speech via internet. Just awesome.
They were both highly successful events and gave True Parents tremendous hope. What's more, the Ambassadors for Peace from District 9 -- especially in Vegas, had phenomenal experiences and contributed greatly towards the program. Colorado sent U.S. Ambassador Sam Zackem gave remarks straight from the heart and touched everyone -- especially True Parents, Utah sent Darrell Hafen, a philanthropist very devoted to the Bering Strait Bridge/Tunnel project and so happy that True Father mentioned its significance in his speech, New Mexico's own State Sen. Mark Boitano attended with two of his children. From Texas -- and happy to have ridden 40+ hours in a maxi-van from Dallas to Vegas and back -- two outstanding Ambassadors for Peace: Dr. Karen Hollie, Sr. Pastor of Lifeway Church, Dallas and Rev. Calvin Williams, Pastor Emeritus of Greater Mt. Zion, Cameron also attended and had life-changing and tearful experiences.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. In total, almost 100 brothers and sisters from District 9 attended the Vegas World Assembly. More than 25 drove from Texas, 7 drove from Oklahoma City, 2 cars from NM, and close to 45 from Colorado. Only a handful of all of those from District 9 flew there. I want to thank you all for your spirit and substance of "attendance" to our True Parents.
Another great accomplishment of District 9 was the number of donors from our district who found it in their hearts to donate $1000 and more to support the cost of holding such an event, especially in the beautiful Milano Ballroom in the Caesar's Palace Hotel/Casino. Four families from District 9 made such generous offerings: the Wilbur and Takako Bowen Family of NM, the Yuji and Reiko Araki Family of NM, the Steve and Yuriko Bohle Family of TX, and the family of Jason and Susan Chide, TX.
Let us continue to pray for the success of the final World Assembly to be held in Korea on Dec 4th at 2 pm (Seoul time -- that would be 11 pm Central USA time and 10 pm Mountain USA Time on Dec 3). It will be shown on ipeacetv. If you can view it together with other brothers and sisters at your local center on Friday night, that would be great.
If you haven't gotten your contribution in yet, please bring it in this Sunday to your local church or mail it directly to our District 9 headquarters (the address of which is in my email signature). It's not too late, and you will partake of ownership with True Parents in the setting of this condition of sincere devotion which Heaven will claim to establish a providential milestone for America and the world in the closing of 2010.
God Bless you all and especially we pray that we all can bless the world with the breaking news of True Parents. Thank you again,
Mark
