(Minghui.org) In 2010, Jason, a young man from the U.S. became acquainted with James while they worked in Baghdad, the capital city of Iraq. James is from East Africa. The two men quickly struck up a friendship.
A year later James left Iraq and returned to East Africa. Two years later Jason returned to the U.S. As time passed, they lost contact with their coworkers in Iraq but Jason and James continued to keep in touch on the Internet.
One day in 2020, James told Jason some bad news. His mother was hospitalized due to high blood pressure. She was not able to talk or walk and her condition was deteriorating. James was devastated. Jason suggested James read the book Zhuan Falun to his mother. Jason began to practice Falun Dafa in 2017, and he frequently told James about the book, but James never took it to heart.
This time, James accepted his friend’s suggestion. Instead of waiting for the book to come in the mail, he ran to the local shop and printed the first lecture of Zhuan Falun. A few hours after reading the first lecture, James’ mother could get out of bed and walk. Soon after, she was able to go home. Two days after returning home, she completely recovered and said she never felt so energetic.
James quickly photocopied the other lectures in the book and gave them to his mother. He also made copies for himself. After than, he began to practice Falun Dafa. He also told friends and family about his mother’s amazing recovery and many of them began to read Zhuan Falun.
After reading Zhuan Falun local people wrote down their thoughts on pieces of paper and gave them to James to tell Falun Dafa’s founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, and other people about their experiences. They thanked Falun Dafa for bringing them what they feel are miracles. Every note tells a story of how one individual spurred a family or even a community to become better. James received many notes, but this report only includes some he received from January to June 2021.
