Thomas Breakwell


His name is Thomas Breakwell.
Here's some interesting details about him:
He was the first englishman to become Bahai and the first western Bahai to give Huququllah. Also he was the first to make pilgrimage to Akka.
He was taught the faith by May Bolles (Ruhiyyih Khanum's mom) at the age of 29 he declared and then he passed away 1 year later (only at the age of 30).
Abdu'l-Baha wrote a tablet for him and cried twice while he was writing it.

When our thoughts are filled with the bitterness of this world let us turn our eyes to the sweetness of Gods compassion, and He will send us heavenly calm! If we are imprisoned in the material world, our spirit can soar into the heavens, and we shall be free indeed!
~Abdu'l-Baha
