Our respected and beloved Sisters.

The joy, emotion, and happiness that touched our hearts today, through the vein we have in common called "Love", is very great. We thank you fervently for your kind hospitality, the guided tour around your newly-founded monastery, and the pure and serene messages that you passed into our souls, through the long, beautiful conversations we had. We wish you success in your aims, and that God will protect you always and prosper your every dream and effort. We will always be anticipating our next visit with you and our cooperation under God.

It was an honor for us to meet your Elder and all the members of your Sisterhood.

With great love and respect
we kiss Your hand
