Hare Krishna,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

We had to get permits to do harinama in the parks here in Salt Lake City. Caru Prabhu put me in charge of organizing the harinamas, so I've managed that. It wasn't so tough, had to talk with a lady at the city, pay a small fee, now we get to chant in the parks once a week. Rev and I have started taking over watching the temple two days of the week, which will likely turn into three. It's good service. We both get to cook and clean and greet the guests. We are starting to see some people with a strong desire to have Krishna in their lives coming to the temple. It is always Paramatma that brings them here, you can tell when they say "I don't really know what brought me here." So nice. I have got lazy with my rounds and am working on getting them done early in the day again. My senses are always putting up a fight keeping me from executing better service. So I'm struggling with that (but have been since I started chanting...nothing new. We are also working on starting a weekly youth home program here at our place. We have been preparing for it for a long time now, but we haven't got anyone to show up yet. 

We arranged to have our wedding the day after Prabhupada's appearance day this summer, but then heard you are going to be in Boise at that time, so we would like to come there. Once again we are deciding a new day. 

I feel like such a terrible devotee most of the time. I guess it keeps me sincerely humble.

Your lowliest servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP    Guess you saw our DTCs.    We write from the Dormitori in Brussells.  Five story, basement, 200 year old narrow building.  Things are old and sophisticated here. But they NEEEEED Srila Prabhupada's message.    You news in super.  You are on the right path.   Keep it up.  Get married.  She's a nice girl demon, your a nice boy demon, we are nice animal demons.  Just make a sane campsite for the next few days, this night, ashrama and go on with the jouney back to Goloka!
