To the Bahá'í Youth of Iran...

My heart pours out love to you all...

I am one man in the United States. However insignificant this letter may be in it's effect, none the less I feel it important to write it.

I am delighted to do the service I am doing for the Bahá'í community in the United States in your honor. My dedication to the service I render to the Cause is no doubt increased when I think of your beloved souls being denied such basic rights. I want you to know that I have written my senator and my representative in the U.S. Government asking them to please pass a resolution to help the Bahá'ís in Iran.

I also want you to know that I have been helping to start a chain of Jr Youth groups, and I do it all in your name. I promise to dedicate all of my service to you blessed youth until religious freedom is established and you are more able to openly render service to our 5 year plan and all the other future endevors asked of us by our Universal House of Justice! I pray for you daily. I cry when pondering your hardships but am bolstered by the Masters words "Be happy, be happy, be full of joy" and I am then moved to thank God for all that is happening. No doubt in the end and now we can thank God for the unity this is bringing us all!

A rush of emotions fill my heart at this moment. I want you to know that if I could travel there and embrace you each individually and tell you how much I feel like your brother I would. Instead I will stay here and continue my work for the faith making sure to dedicate every minute to your blessed souls. May Baha'u'llah accept my prayers and offerings.

Your brother in service of this Beloved Cause,

Benjamin Hartin

Service...

I love serving my family...

Today my brother and I went

and picked up some salt for my

Grandmothers water softener.

Also brought her a new chair my mom bought for her. Then

we helped her string up some christmas lights out side.

These simple acts of service I am called on to do for my family are like spiritual food for me. I wonder if they know that...

I

am

so

happy

that

God

made

us

to

feel

good,

no,

great

after

we

serve

others.

It's like a big fat spiritual sandwich.

I love it.

Oh, oh, oh--> THE BEST PART-

I said to my Grandmother

when leaving her house "now

come here and pay me for what

I've done for you with a big hug!"

And she just got all smiley and

happy and gave me a great hug!

I was so happy about that... It

made me feel so

c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d

to my family in a way that I

really

appreciated at that moment.

Peace.

NOW GO SERVE YOUR FAMILY AND SEE IF YOU FEEL IT TOO!!
