The Guardian is hopeful that the friends at home will arise with the same spirit of sacrifice and determination as the pioneers abroad, and teach and spread the Faith. More Bahá’ís, more Groups, more Assemblies, are the immediate goals before the friends at home. He feels sure the friends will arise as never before, and filled with the Holy Spirit, quicken the seeking souls, leading many to the bourn of immortality. Dedication to the heavenly task, complete consecration to the noble mission, and living the life, are the requirements for success in the teaching field. The beloved Guardian greatly values the active services of you two devoted workers in the Faith. As you know, the Guardian feels that the future of Alaska is very important indeed, particularly the city of Anchorage. One of the goals of the Ten Year Crusade is the establishment of a National Assembly in Alaska. This great bounty carries with it great responsibilities; and therefore the Guardian is hopeful that each and every Bahá’í in Alaska will redouble their efforts in order to spread the Faith far and wide, and to bring many new souls into the Faith. The Guardian feels sure that you two will render distinguished and outstanding services in connection with the development of the Cause in Alaska during the present Crusade. He assures you of his prayers in your behalf, and sends you his loving greetings. With warm Bahá’í love, Leroy Ioas (68) April 12, 1954 (68) April 12, 1954 Dear Bahá’í Friends: Your loving letter of March 16th has been received through the courtesy of Mrs. Tuttle. We have prayed at the Shrines for the solution of your problems; that all obstacles may be removed from your path, and that your true field of Bahá’í service may become clear and evident. As a general principle, the Guardian has established the order of importance in Bahá’í service as follows: First, Pioneering in one of the virgin areas of the Ten Year Crusade. Second, Pioneering in one of the consolidation areas of the Ten Year Crusade. Third, Settlement and Teaching in one of the goal cities of the home front campaign. This of course would include developing the Faith in Communities where there is already a Group or isolated Bahá’ís. The Guardian feels that it is advisable for every individual, after his own prayers and meditations and seeking of guidance, to consult with the appropriate committee appointed by the National Assembly. They are in touch with the ramifications of the Campaign, and are qualified to give sound advice. So far as your personal affairs are concerned, the Guardian assures you of his prayers in your behalf, that they may be clarified for you. Of course the question of love and marriage is something that can only be determined by the individual.
