Hare Krsna Gurudev!

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  All glories to your lotus feet.

        HpS - ASA --  Long way from lotus. AGTSP. We are hoping for apple-blossom feet.

I cannot thank you enough for all of your merciful association the past two weeks.  I had many questions on my mind that caused much uncertainty in my life and some struggle, but you answered all of them, and I am satisfied.

   HpS - ASA - See "Image One" below.

You helped put a lot into perspective, which helps to continue in my service with better understanding.

I will remember these (almost) 2 weeks for the rest of my life, but I hope to have the chance to serve you that closely, or even more, again and again.

I brought some books with me to the airport on the way out as you instructed, and distributed them.  I had a nice conversation about Krsna consciousness with the man who sat next to me on the plane, and he took a Sri Isopanisad and gave a donation.  Also distributed a Coming Back, and PoY/BBaD to two others at the Denver airport.  Sending the donation back to Houston shortly.

I hope Bhaktin Govinda's initiation went well!  Hoping to get the recording of the initiation lecture from her or Mother Yasoda.

Your association is purifying, and I feel renewed confidence and enthusiasm to execute devotional service, and also gained some mental clarity as well.

Ever thankful for your mercy,
Hoping to become your servant,
Bhakta David II

HpS - ASA -- Well, the same to you and more of it!!!   Initiation was great. Actually every day becomes greater and greater!  You life is complicated. But also others. I would say that it is very normal for people to be at one level in the formal process and another level in their practical realization. Did Van Got become great artist because of what he learned in art school?
