Regarding pioneers going to Japan, Brazil … and other places,
the beloved Guardian states that they must not gather in one place but
scatter to make new centers, e.g., Mr. Assassi and his wife, and Mr.
Labib who travelled to Japan must not stay in Tokyo but should go to
places where there are no Bahá’ís, or very few Bahá’ís to make new
centers. Furthermore (he) says that the National Spiritual Assembly
of Iran must write to all pioneers that have left Iran for other parts of
the world and instruct them not to gather in one place but to scatter
in different places. He says that the matter stated above is very
important… (translated from the original Persian)
