Editor’s note: Tom Conneally was one of a very small number of members who met and spoke with Father personally prior to joining our movement. Some parts of this story may seem extraordinary but Mr. Conneally was not a person who ever sought to draw attention to himself. Indeed, as the reader will gather, he felt his story was more of a burden to him than a badge of honor. We are grateful to him that he consented to write this story down before he ascended to the spirit world.

Part 2 (Part 1 was posted last week)
Five years passed. It was September 17, 1976. I was working in Sante Fe, New Mexico for a drilling company. I had been working all day long drilling a hole into the dry ground. Feeling dry myself, I went to my favorite bar hoping for a drink or two. Unfortunately, my paycheck had not been cashed yet, and I only had small change in my pocket. lt was good to have the week behind me, but without money what was I supposed to do? Leaning against the bar counter, I saw a few girls come in trying to sell flowers. When I went outside after a while, there was one little Japanese “flower girl” standing at the comer, smiling at passers-by and holding out a bunch of roses.
Curious, I asked her, “Whom are you selling those for?”

From January 19 to 23, 2019, the Fourth National Assembly of CARP was held under the motto "Let us become the youth who save the Fatherland and the world for the Will of God!" .We counted on the participation of 84 university students.
During the workshop the participants listened to the CAUSA (Victory Theory on Communism) lectures given by the university students themselves, it was a great help to the young people as they gained even more conviction in the Divine Principle and in the teachings of the True Parents to face ideologically the communism within universities.
The participants also received the lectures on the vision we should have regarding the Heavenly Tribal Messiah and the path of the young people and their formula course.
Also it was carried out in partnership with the YSP, the Peace Designer program’s Table; a space for the creation of new social projects. At the end of the workshop the best projects were awarded.
After hearing the reports of the activities performed in each state in the year of 2018, for the next six months, new goals were set. Thus, with the encouragement words of the leaders, the participants pledged themselves to dedicate even more to the providence of True Parents in order to achieve this year’s long-awaited victory of the 2020 Vision!
