(Minghui.org) The new 2019 Minghui desk calendars are ready for distribution in our area. This year's calendars are just as elegant as in prior years. The color pairing and print have been improved and the words are larger, which makes it easier for the elderly to read.

We are grateful for the great efforts of Minghui editors and artists. We use their artwork as templates to make quality informational materials in China, so that more people in Chinese society will learn about Falun Dafa and the wrongness of the persecution.

Prior to distributing the 2019 calendars, our coordinator reminded us several times that we must personally give out the calendars. Since these calendars are the product of other practitioners' hard work, they are precious.

Our group received about 200 calendars.

One of the elderly practitioners in our group went to a village a few miles away. He gave everyone he met a calendar. Villagers came to him once they saw their neighbors' Minghui calendars. Those who did not get one asked him to please bring them one another day.

This elderly practitioner is well known in the village since he regularly distributes informational materials about Falun Dafa there. Villagers also know the importance of cutting off any ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Someone asked this practitioner about his age. He said that he is 84 years old and in good health because he practices Falun Dafa. Many villagers know about Dafa's health benefits and are eager to get reading materials so they can learn more about Dafa.

This practitioner told us that many more people have asked for calendars this year than in past years.

Before I started to distribute calendars, I asked Master (Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa) for support and that I would meet many people that day.

Upon arriving in the first village, I saw three persons resting. I offered each a calendar. Two refused and one accepted it. Soon, a group of lumberjacks came over. The group leader asked me for four sets of calendars. When a passerby asked what he had received, he replied without hesitation, “A Falun Dafa calendar.”

I passed by a truck and waved to the driver. The driver stopped, looked at the calendar and wanted to know how much it cost. I told him it’s free. He took two, one for himself and one for his passenger.

Many villagers recognized the calendars and accepted them. They commented on how well the calendars were made.

I met two young women in the next village. I gave them each a calendar. They were very happy and kept saying, “How nice! How nice!” Another woman walked over and I gave her one as well. She asked for another one for her neighbor. I wished them a happy 2019!

I came upon a wedding in the village. I hesitated because so many people were there, and I only had a few calendars left. Who should I give one to? I believed that those who were supposed to get one would get one. I started to hand out the calendars and was quickly surrounded by people.

Someone said, “They are made by Falun Dafa practitioners, very nice!” I was soon out of calendars.

I recognized a relative in the crowd. She came over and said to me: “Why didn't you bring more?” I promised that I would come back soon with more calendars!
