When Masaaki-sama and Mami-okusama made their entrance, the venue erupted with loud cheers and applause. The kimono that Mami-okusama wore that day was custom-made, inspired by the Sacred Ground of Water in Brazil—the blue color representing the clear blue sky, and the arabesque pattern representing eternal time, an auspicious symbol expressing perpetual connection and expansion. Embroidered on the back was the Okada family crest “Maru ni Tsuta” (circle with ivy). Mami-okusama looked beautiful in her kimono, and she radiated supreme elegance and a dazzling brilliance, brightly illuminating the hearts of the participants. Then, Masaaki-sama granted his Sacred Word in Portuguese, as fluent as always. Each and every word spoken by Masaaki-sama, which was filled with burning passion for the new members and participants, moved everyone’s hearts, and some members listened with tears streaming down their faces. When Masaaki-sama concluded by saying, “After this, let's all hug, kiss, and take photos together!”, loud cheers and applause filled the venue. The welcome gathering then began. To everyone’s surprise, Masaaki-sama and Mami-okusama themselves began serving food to each individual. The participants were deeply moved and received their meals with expressions of joy and astonishment, as if they could hardly believe what was happening. Masaaki-sama and Mami-okusama exchanged handshakes and hugs with each person and also graciously obliged in taking a commemorative photo. The new members and participants surrounding Masaaki-sama and Mami-okusama—this was the very embodiment of the Messiah family embraced by Masaaki-sama.
