[San Jose] For the past two years, we have been visiting several prisons in Costa Rica in an effort to bring Master's message to those without social freedom.

In the beginning it was very difficult to schedule even an appointment to talk with the authorities for permission to visit, but our persistence finally brought us success.

Initially, we found the atmosphere inside the prison to be very tense because of the suffering there. However, slowly but surely, the conditions are becoming better.

We had little hope when we first went into the jails. But we could feel Master's tremendous power cleansing our souls as well as the inmates'. It's so great to know that Master is a very rare being who unconditionally loves everyone. Master is working all the time in every corner of the world, at the same time.

At present, and guided by Master, we are providing art and English classes for inmates. During class, they look like little children -- shy and nervous. They really appreciate this opportunity even more than people who are free. Some inmates already practice the Convenient Method, and are very keen to turn over a "new leaf" and better their lives.

We thank Master with all our hearts for loving and supporting all those angels trapped in prisons. This is a lesson for us that has revealed the profound truth in Master's wise words: "The only purpose for enlightenment is to serve others, and in serving we can be enlightened. Serving others is the best way to serve God and Master."
