Vawn - the followup


Hey all

So just recently I’ve felt like I could connect more to True Parents Heart. Actually Vawn, our 1st guest, was super inspired by the DP and how close we were as a family. However I called him up a few days after and he wanted to meet up 4 a Chapter 1 lecture the day after. However on the day I called him up and he just said I’m not interested, bye. At 1st I took it quite hard. My Heart sank quite low, especially since I had really high belief and hope in him. However upon reflection I realized that I was thinking just about myself and feelings. I realized that True Father continuously gives love to us but we still reject him. His heart is one of a TRUE parent but our heart is Not one of a True son. True parents deserves so much more from us all. . Also the 2nd gen have to learn to love TP more. I know for a fact that I don’t love TP as much as a strong Christian loves Jesus. I should be able to love TP and Jesus more than anyone. We have the truth. we have the DP and I feel passionate right now to convey this message to you and my bro’s and sis’s out there. until next time !

Vawn

We got our 1st guest back 4 an intro of the DP. His name is Vawn from Jamaica, who                 was really surprised and impressed by how culturally mixed everyone is, Australian, Austrian, Hungarian, Swedish, American, English, Japanese, Norwegian, etc . The funny story is that he was meant to hear ½ hr intro. Instead we went through 2.5 hrs summary of the DP beginning to end. Intense but Awesome. Please pray 4  him guys. Hopefully I can meet him within the next 2 days and it will b my 1st lecture 2 a  guest on principles of creation.

Here we come

Most of the past week was spent at the witnessing workshop where the biggest event was getting to know our new teams. I saw from the beginning this is an interesting team with a lot of potential. You surely wonder how I discovered that. We were united since the beginning and won nearly all the sports competitions. If we are able to continue like that and understand each other more we can surely become a great team. After spending some nice days with our brothers and sisters we finally set out to our promised land to save the people like God saved the Queen. Before you get confused, we went to London. Yeah!!! 
Everybody from our team is happy to be there. After 5 hours of travelling we arrived at Livingstone house where we’ll stay for two weeks. Livingstone House is really beautiful and amazingly big. If you’d play here hide and seek you would take 100 years to find somebody. I got lost already twice. The first night we were invited for an amazing dinner by our witnessing leader`s (Matthew Huish) wife, Natascha. 
With this wonderful evening all together we started our condition. The next day we already had our first witnessing experience, that we anticipated with lots of excitement and a little bit of fear.(It`s difficult to describe that feeling, if you want to understand it you should go witnessing yourself!). But we all became more confident after some time because London is really special in its own way. With cars on the other side of the road, different looking buildings, different systems and all kinds of people from around the world. 
After that we realized that the learning continues not just on the streets but also at home: we had our first lecture practice. 
We all discovered we have to understand the divine principle much deeper and become more clear with it before we can teach it probably. And our learning experience was still not over. In the evening we watched the Matrix. I know is hard to believe but you can really learn from it. (By the way I recommend this movie^^). So it was 24 hour learning for the sake of others. It is not easy for all of us, but we all really want to gain something and we are happy to get this opportunity to be here. 
Sunday was our first time with the Bromley community, where Matthew is assistant pastor. What we noticed straight away is that they sing a lot in the Sunday service, which is awesome! They really try to get a high spirit. After a nice speech from Tim Miller we had a short nice time with the community and went off shopping. It was a wet shopping trip. After that we head our amazing team sharing and in the end our Il-Jung prayer. That was our week. What happens next nobody knows but you can look forward to it. In the end I‘ll be back.
