Friends gathered in the Old Town center early in the morning.
Invigorating mornings prayers were followed by a yummy potluck breakfast.
Team’s were split, photo albums and flip charts distributed.
Santi, Kogila, Balan, Ashwin, and Mitra had their hand at some role-play.
And then we were off!
25 friends, in 6 teams visited a grand total of 16 homes.
In Nov 2008, a young Viguna stepped into a Ruhi study circle tutored by Tamarai Akka. To the dismay of the team, Viguna was unable to finish Book 1 as she had to return to Perak once the new school term began. But Viguna’s sister continued with JY. Anna’s Presentation was shared with their mother during Teaching Campaign 11 and though positive, Viguna’s mother was reluctant to enroll – I agree with you, but you need to speak to my husband.
After months of casual visiting, the Mentari Task force felt it was time to revisit this family with Anna’s Presentation. Tamarai’s team was deployed. “The spirit was different in the house this time. Semua ceria!” Anna’s Presentation was shared with the parents until check-point #1 –
“Do you accept that Baha’u’llah is the Manifestation of God for this Day?”
“Yes.”
“Then you are a Baha’i!”
“Yes.”
The parents and 2 children are now Baha’is. Sadly though, Viguna, the youth who led her family into Baha’i core activities, was not here to be a part of it. But surely her time will come. 🙂
Ya’Baha’ul’Abha! The team and entire battalion of Baha’is at Mentari last Sunday were overjoyed!
The Baha’is feasted to a lunch of chicken curry and vegetables prepared by Mona and Balan’s family.
The days ahead for Teaching Campaign 12 look promising…
