My name is Susana Ginze and I joined the church in October 3, 1975. I fundraised, I witnessed for one month and then for another month on the third month I met Father. I was in Kentucky, I was a fundraiser and I was in Kentucky. I was struggling so I didn’t join the church for three months. I joined because I was going to study the church to see if this was true, see if these were true members and really doing God’s will so I was going to check them out and see if it is true.
At this time I was in Kentucky and True Father wanted members from different states to come to serve him and help him at Pasadena House. He came to Pasadena House for some scientist meetings and also soon it was going to be Childrens’ Day. I took advantage because my first matching was in Los Angeles and I wanted to visit him and get to know him a little bit. He was security for True Father. Before Father came I told my fiancé that I wanted to visit my parents with him because they were living close to Pasadena. So I brought him over and he met my parents.
We went back to Pasadena the day we visited my parents and when we arrived he opened the door for me and there was this light coming out of the door of Pasadena House. It was a light like a rainbow. And I was wondering, where is this light coming from? I couldn’t see any electric lights on anywhere. It was a light, like a rainbow up the stairs. I said “Oh, that’s interesting.” So we went upstairs, we had a room upstairs. At this time I hadn’t seen Father because he was in his room at Pasadena House. Then the next day they feed True Father breakfast. He later came back from the science conference in the evening and I was doing dishes. He really scolded the Korean sisters because they had all these pots on the floor with vegetables and food in them. Father spoke to them angrily. And I thought “Oh wow!” I didn’t know what he was saying because he was speaking Korean and I asked a sister to translate what he said. She said Father said “You have to be like Americans. You don’t have all those pots on the floor. Get a table and put everything on the table. This is not good.”
The next morning, it was the morning of True Childrens’ Day and the Korean sisters had made a beautiful table offering, all this fruit and other things. All the members who came, who had been invited to serve Father, all came and prayed with Father. He prayed to God to offer the food. At this time, I was there and I thought, “OK, Heavenly Father, I am here to see if he really is the Messiah. So you are going to let me know if he is really the Messiah if he gives me my favorite food.” He was giving food to the members, so I thought if he really is the Messiah he has to give me my favorite food. When it was my turn he looked me straight in the eye and he gave me my favorite fruit, the honeydew melon. That’s my favorite. When he gave it to me my eyes really opened then I said, “Well, Heavenly Father, he is the Messiah because he gave me my favorite food.”
So then I said, thank you Heavenly Father that means I am staying as a missionary for Rev. Sun Myung Moon. So that is how I met True Father and after that they sent me back to Kentucky and I stayed in the church.
