My dear family:
I do thank you for your prayers and love while I was in hospital with appendicitis. I came home after a week, have now recovered and feel almost normal.
Gordon completed the news letter of this month and Elke typed it for me. So I am glad that I can send it out on time.
On May 31, 1963, our group in Korea was officially recognized by the Korean government as a legitimate religious group. The license no. is 261. All other church denominations and religious groups also received a license on the same day. However, it was a marked victory for our group to receive government recognition at this time. Thank you for your cooperation sending telegrams of congratulation.
On July 24th, 120 new couples will be blessed in marriage. They are going to rent a newly-erected civic auditorium for the occasion and are inviting distinctive guests from the government as well as the 240 families of those blessed, most of whom have been opposing the couples' new faith. After this wedding these 120 couples will serve as crack troops for the restoration of Korea.
