Before the Christmas celebrations at the Florida Center in December 2001, I asked a sister initiate from California if she would be going, and she said she could not attend because the airfare was too high around Christmas time. She then asked me to convey the message "I love You" to Master while I was in Florida. But I told her it would not be possible to say these words to Master, if I could not see Her face to face. Besides, I felt shy about saying such things in front of many fellow initiates. Nonetheless, the sister replied, "Just say 'I love You' to Master, anyway."

After Master's first talk on December 23, 2001, She wanted to come down from the stage to walk around and bless the disciples, as well as let them see Her up close, after they had missed Her for so many months. Before leaving the stage, Master blew a kiss to us and said, "I love you!" And I suddenly remembered the message from the sister in California. I hurriedly held my palms together and silently said, "Master, a sister from California has asked me to say 'I love You,' so I am respectfully sending these words to You."

Later, Master walked around to see the disciples sitting on the right of the stage. At the time, I was sitting far away on the left, in one of the last rows. But Master quickly turned around and walked towards my row. I only wanted to throw out my hand to touch Hers. However, to my amazement, Master walked by me and said, "I love you," then gave me a tissue. I held the tissue in my hands as tears welled up in my eyes.

Afterwards, we had dinner, and as I was picking up the Aulacese noodles (that day the cooking team decided to give us a treat of traditional Aulacese vegetarian noodles), suddenly the guards asked me to stand against a table. I then turned around, saw Master coming by and quickly said, "I love You," after which Master responded, "I love you, too!"

Needless to say, that day the noodles tasted wonderful, like they had been made in Heaven!
