Your letter, dated February 16th, was received and read by
our beloved Guardian with great joy, and he has instructed me
to answer it on his behalf.
|
The news of your group having reached Assembly status was
a source of deep satisfaction to him, and demonstrates what the
friends can do, once they put their shoulder to the wheel!
|
You have every reason to feel proud of your achievement, and
he hopes you will, through your correspondence and contacts
with your fellow believers, encourage them to follow your
example and forge ahead, in spite of every obstacle, with
determination, confident that once we do our part, God is never
failing in His.

He hopes your numbers will steadily increase and that many
young people will be attracted to the Faith, as the part they have
to play is very great and, also, their need of the Faith very great.
|
You may be sure his loving prayers will be offered for you,
and for the success of your labours, in the Holy Shrines.
|
|
|
May the Beloved bless your efforts in the service of our beloved
Faith, and you to deepen your knowledge of the essentials of His
World Order, to increase your numbers, to extend the scope of your
activities, and to fulfil every desire you cherish for its promotion and
consolidation.

Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
