From December 16 to 25, new and veteran practitioners from New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette attended the nine-day video lectures given by Master Li Hongzhi in Guangzhou. The classes were held in Westbank, New Orleans. Maya and Natanie, who just moved from New York, had been searching for Falun Gong for a long time and eventually attained the Fa (law and principle) in New Orleans. They treasured this late-arrived opportunity very much. Not only did they attend the Fa study and exercise demonstration from beginning to end every time, but they also provided a spacious place and new video equipment. One African American practitioner named Charles, who learned Tai Chi before, was a college employee. He quickly and precisely grasped the five-sets of exercises. He got all kinds of Fa-promoting materials from veteran practitioners, and plans to promote the Fa to his relatives and friends.
