It was a truly remarkable event and I'm still feeling uplifted by it a couple of days later! The children were lovely - and Jake, my 3 year old grandson, fell in love with a 4 year old Indian girl whose name is something like Kulmodi. They played together and Hari (my daughter) took Jake to see Kulmodi and her parents, Bala (who is a Baha'i) and Tulasi ( who is not a Baha'i but who is a great enthusiast for the Baha'i children's classes, which have helped her daughter become calmer and improve her English) on Sunday.

And pleased to see in the second video that the little girl who looked rather overwhelmed in the first one was joining in with gusto! This looked so joyous, I’m glad for you that you were part of it.

Yes, I could feel such an uplift...something quite tangible is moving all over the world...it's been known as "feeling the Spirit", but this is so much more! The Bab released such a powerful energy into the world when He declared His Mission, and I believe that beautiful, magnetic force is attracting and captivating more and more people! Hatfield's holy day celebration is a demonstration of that, and apparently, your community wasn't the only one who experienced it! What fun; I love it!
