Hare Krishna,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I believe we last spoke in Boise when we were both there last. I was having a difficult time with overworking. Fortunately since then I have been able to decrease my work and increase my sadhana.

HpS - ASA - Jaya!!!

It's difficult! I don't find much value in the association here. I am increasing my daily rounds (between 8-16), starting to read Bhagavad Gita daily, and daily offerings to my deities. We don't go to the temple programs here. 

I'm experiencing feelings of frustration. I try to get my wife to chant but she says she no longer has the desire. I am hoping she will start chanting again with me soon! I have been having strong desires to move over the last year or so, to get a new job, new temple community, build a house, etc. I don't feel I am getting what I want/need here. But my wife absolutely does not want to move for social/emotional reasons. So we have had some difficulties. Of course I continue to choose to stay here as that is what she wants. 

I feel all I can do anymore is chant my japa and read. But I feel hungry for association and spontaneity. 

Any words of advise or realizations or inspiration would be greatly valued!!

Your aspiring servant,

Bhakta Adrian-Utah
