Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you for your reply. What i'm up to, after quite a long period of unemployment i started working in the facility department of a bank a two weeks ago. It's a capitalist walhalla, and i try not to associate too much with the people there but be a devotee, so i strive to work by myself as much as possible, listening katha and kirtans on the faithful ipod, my lifeline.

Besides that, still serving Radhadesh congregation dept by helping to publish the bi-monthly magazine for Benelux with translating, editing and content. Now that salary is coming in again i can decide on some course to take to be more equiped in making future livelyhood in the field of publishing. That is my wish and it seems feasible. 

Also, still busy with final paper necessary for the paperwork for residence permit for M. Hope to submit in August. Time consuming! Need time to adjust anyway: old life is over, new life is here. Last but not least is that a brahmacari offered us to use his house while he's serving in Gadeigiri. His desire is to do that for five years. We were happy to receive that offer, and are curious to see how things will work out. That's all things major going on. Perhaps there's something here that pleases you. 

An aspiring servant,

Richard van Dijck

   Then all of your work is devotional service.
