We had our usual all night chain prayer vigil

The highlight of this month was the celebration of Children's day which we celebrated on Sunday November 13th. A day of rainstorms pre vented us from visiting the Holy Ground but I feel that the bad weather came to test the hearts of those who have accepted Divine Principle here in Guyana. Those who came to the celebration had to come through pouring rain and wade through mud and slush.

Eight of us spent a most enjoyable time singing, reading past Children's Day speeches, playing Principle games, listening to testimonies from abroad and partaking of some delicacies prepared for the occasion. I was able to display the few photos I have of our Leader and members of centers in Europe and America.

Five of us did a three day fast at the beginning of the month and on the third Saturday we had our usual all night chain prayer vigil.

We are working towards having a fully established center so we are trying to raise the money for building one. Here in Guyana it works out better building or buying your own home than renting one because of the very high prices.

This period has been more a period of spiritual growth for those who have accepted Divine Principle. We only have a few people studying now.

This is all for new. Greetings to the True Parents and Brothers and Sisters all over the world.

In Their Precious Names
