My company was recently commissioned to conduct a nationwide market survey for a large corporation in Mexico, and teams were dispatched to several cities around the country. I was assigned to go to Reynosa, Saltillo, and Ciudad Juarez in northern Mexico, but was reluctant to accept the assignment because I would have to be responsible for both the personnel and financial management of our four-member team. This was the first time that I would be handling a large amount of corporate funds and serving as corporate representative on a business trip. So I felt fearful and was under great pressure. The project was indeed a great challenge for me. But when I thought of Master's teaching that we should always be brave and never complain, I calmed myself and prayed for Her blessings and help.

During my last group meditation session before the trip, I was overwhelmed with joy. And when I told my fellow practitioners and good friends that I would be away for a month, the local contact person encouraged me, "You should be delighted, for you will be visiting cities where there are no initiates, and it will be a great opportunity to introduce Master's teachings to others." He then gave me some flyers and sample booklets. I wanted to take more with me, but could not fit them into my luggage.

During my trip, I remembered to recite the Holy Names continuously, whether I was conducting the market survey or visiting vegetarian stores to distribute free sample booklets and flyers, which the storekeepers were delighted to accept and display. Whenever I ran into difficulty, I would read the copy of the News magazine that I always carried with me, and found great comfort in gazing at Master's photo.

On my way back to Mexico City at the end of the assignment, I happened to read the article "Nine Drops of Love" by brother Jacky Chantraine from Belgium in Issue No. 118 of the News. I immediately felt elated and decided to write "Twenty Drops of Love" for our magazine because I had planted the seeds of Master's divine love and wisdom with the twenty sample booklets I left in each city on my trip. I sincerely pray that those who have an affinity with Master will read these booklets and experience Her boundless grace.
I thank You, Master, for Your teachings and for the infinite care You gave me during my trip, and continue to provide in each moment of my existence.
