Dear Bill,
I hope you're doing well. I'm doing fine.
I'm very happy that we've started our joint research project. I hope it progresses well and we achieve brilliant results. By the way, could you please write the full names of Dr. Sarapas and Mouton so I can find their pictures online?
The guide exam last week went well, and I'm currently planning to grade over 12,000 exam papers. Interestingly, the services provided by individuals in Congress 60 are also considered, and each service is given a score of 0.25 points.
For example, if someone has served as a secretary and guarded a meeting, they will receive 0.25 points for guarding and 0.25 points for secretarial duties, totaling half a point. Other services, such as border guarding, serving at the site, serving in OT, serving in sports, serving in education, etc., have the same conditions.
Those who pass must undergo a practical internship which includes attending three legions for a total of 12 sessions, participating in the OT section, attending newcomer meetings, and also experiencing other sections practically. Then, after an interview to receive a shawl, they will be introduced to the guide department.
In summary, these individuals, i.e., those who pass, will become pioneers who carry the most accurate and complete knowledge of addiction for treatment and recovery to pass on to others. Of course, this is done for free and without any expectations or demands. God will help us both on this path.
For the past few years, due to the coronavirus or COVID-19, Congress 60's nationwide and summer camps have not been held for several years, but fortunately, starting in about 10 days, people from all cities will participate in this camp.
The camp will last one week and about 400 people will participate in this camp in a field next to a river, in a meadow, and next to a mountain, and they will stay in tents. I will definitely send you pictures from the camp.
The construction of the university is ongoing, and most of the work on the first floor is complete, and we are currently completing the other floors. As I mentioned earlier, we have about 10,000 square meters of educational space. I will send you a video from about 10 days ago. The guide exam was also held on the first floor of the university, and group meetings of Congress 60 for travelers and their companions are also being held in the building of this university.
Along with this letter, I am sending the exam questions to Ehsan as promised, so he can translate them and send them to you gradually. In total, there are 120 questions, 60 of which are related to addiction treatment and 60 are related to worldview.
In the past, I was very interested in books about the history and stories of nations or specific individuals, as well as metaphysical books, and I read them constantly, but unfortunately, I don't have the time for this now. I hope you and Mrs. Rita have a wonderful time. And enjoy reading books and going to concerts and theaters.
Best wishes
Friends and brothers on heaven and earth forever
