After completing the tour this time around, I lost my voice. This is because everywhere I went, I spoke for three, or over four hours, and I stayed up many nights talking to the new members.

One time a certain event took place. We were scheduled to arrive in Sam-Chuk at nine in the evening, but because the car broke down midway, we spent that night there and arrived in Sam-Chuk at 4:40 in the morning the next day. So, how much must the members gathered there have waited for me? They were all exhausted. We had the gathering early at dawn, but because it was the on the coastline of the Eastern Sea and there were intense security activities, I could not speak at length. After speaking for about one hour, I went to Chun-Chun through Won-Ju, and then this morning I came here to meet with you.

When such events occur, what kind of thoughts and prayers do you think I have? This year, our young members are out there doing witnessing according to my directions, and they are enduring suffering with the sense of common mission toward it in order to fulfill the Will of God. In truth, there were events that were extremely difficult. While being concerned about these things, I offered the prayer, "I am praying in order to place on my own shoulders all your difficulties, so please understand." Therefore, during my journey I could not sleep even for one night. (11-179)
