Pioneering: Divine assistance

Very dear EBWN,

Here in Slovenia we are all occupied with the project of the Counsellors which is to accelerate the Ruhi Courses in order to arrive at finishing Book #7 as quickly as possible.  Every weekend we go to Lubijana with the other friends for the Tutor Training.  What a wonderful atmosphere has been created and we are all extremely happy in realizing this project.  And we are all advancing with this wonderful Ruhi project.

However, the other day my landlady knocked on my door and in such a loving way ‘presented’ me with a large white envelope….. and also a beautiful vase of spring flowers.  What a coincidence!  Incredible.  Just think.  I looked at the envelope and realised that it had come from the VISION Association containing all the official papers of the Association.  I remembered our plan at the Seminar in Austria how we decided to plant the bulbs that had been presented to us and here were FLOWERS too!!  Thank you.  We now have in hand the statutes of this beautiful initiative.

Congratulations to all of you who have prepared and participated in this Seminar.  Thank you for your constant loving attention, which makes us all feel so close and united in this effort.  I sometimes feel that I am not worthy and sometimes I do worry about the presentation in English as it is not my mother-tongue.  I look forward to collaborating with other ladies in this first project and know that in time all will go in the very best way. 

I am also involved in becoming a Tutor for the Family Task Force materials.  Here in Slovenia this is also a very deeply felt subject.  I also enjoy this subject and feel that I will be called upon to respond to the many questions and difficulties families face today.

So you see, even though I came here alone 3 years ago as a pioneer, and even though sometimes in the beginning I truly wondered where to turn and who to contact, the doors have opened and many new activities and wonderful possibilities have presented themselves!

I know that all of you are very busy with activities in all the areas.  Allow me to say, Congratulations!

With all my love and affection,

Maria
