Dear Bill,
I hope you are fine, I am well.
Examination is over now. It left me with 36000 papers to assess. Out of them about 300 or 400 will become co-guides. What we came to understand in recent years was that those who are consulting new comers must have some special characteristics.
Thus we realized the need to educate some of our voluntaries to do this task. The way that new comers are being addressed is very important.
So this examination had two major to be selected:
1. travelers co-guides
2. new comers co-guides
What seems interesting is that some of the clinics (they utilize methadone and even buprenorphine) are eager to take benefit of our co-guides and even new comers co-guides in their treatment process.
I have to emphasize that no one is allowed to speak with newcomers within Congress 60 except newcomers co-guides. We had newcomers co-guides before but from now on they must pass this examination. Their shawl will be phosphorus green.
I saw your facebook page and I thank you for that. It was interesting and I saw your picture with Mrs. Rita.
Dear Bill,
you mentioned theater, I had the “Edmund and Helga” which was translated by Ehsan and it was about creation of mankind sent to you before. I dedicated that book to Alisha. I am not sure if she read the book please inform me about it.
I like theater as well. I have read Shakespeare plays. I even taught Othello from a philosophical point of view to our travelers and companions.
Suddenly I am reminded of our departed friend Dr. kurtz. God bless him. I wish he was alive to read this play (Edmund and Helga). Because this play is about Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit which is mentioned in old and new testament.
As far as I know Ernie always cared about bible debates. We debated about the 7 major sins.
May his soul rest in peace. Share news on her wife with me.
I asked Ehsan to share some photos regarding co-guide examinations with you.
Friends and brothers on heaven and earth forever
Hossein
