Aloysia

 

 

Dear Reverend Swearson: I would like to give special recognition to a special young lady from our state. Aloysia Pfeiffer, daughter of Juergen and Cindy Pfeiffer, is the first blessed child borne in North Dakota. When I first saw her bright eyes shining from her bassinet during our small church services, I knew she was special. She has grown into one of the finest young ladies I have ever known. Aloysia is now graduating 'top of her class' at Fargo South High School. She was masters of ceremonies at the commencement ceremonies. She graduated with the highest and broadest set of awards that I have ever witnessed. She is soft spoken, focused, hardworking, and always respectful of everyone. Her friends and family all celebrate her success. Her mother Cindy modestly sent me this partial list of scholarships: "The awards Aloysia received were based on GPA, ACT test results, character, school activities, investment, etc. These are some she received: * Dollars for Scholars * Linda Lockwood Memorial * Charity Mae Kohlman Memorial * Gate City * Donovan Nelson Memorial * Concordia College, Moorhead, Presidential scholarship" I have enjoyed watching Aloysia's poised flute performances, in all musical styles from classical to jazz. These performances attracted one of the top music schools 'Concordia College' to offer a very substantial scholarship. This is just one of her many awards in music, art and athletics. Her paintings and drawings alone point towards a promising career in the visual arts if she chooses it over music. The award that moved me the most was not the largest. One of Aloysia's classmates had died during their junior year. The classmate's mother wanted to give a scholarship to someone in her daughter's graduating class that not only was a top student that excelled in music, art and athletics, but also showed the greatest compassion to her classmates. She chose Aloysia from the graduating class of 260 students for that scholarship. Aloysia is very talented, but did not achieve what she did just on that talent alone. She worked many weeks on end with only 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night, much like the 'Man' of our inspiration, Sun Myung Moon. ********** It has been the 'greatest pleasure' of my life to have watch our blessed children grow here in North Dakota and become such wonderful people. Aloysia, as well as Preston, Roshan, Judy and Rygo have shown that our work in building our True Homeland comes from something deeply planted within each of them. That seed within them has been the special gift given from the heart of our True Parents. I believe Aloysia knows, as I hope all our bless children know, that with the clear Mind and Heart of the Principle, they can accomplish whatever they set their minds to do. I want Aloysia and other blessed children to know that we parents will always be there for them, through whatever problems they will encounter, to help them realize their dreams. Sincerely, John Foss North Dakota Family
