This is Rico and I. I am never quite sure if he is going to kiss me or bite me. He has epilepsy, so he is really strong from having so many seizures and tightening up his muscles. He enjoys going for walks and is really sweet.
yes, I took a rickshaw in this....
Russel and Elenor by the river. Elenor lives and works with the boys at Ashinir. She's great and it's been good talking with her lately. I've been spending time at L'arche teaching english to some of the voluteers as well as just hanging out. Bangladeshis are good at relaxing. There is always time for tea...too much rushing around drives me crazy after a while, it's nice to not need much planning over here and have ample time to chat and relax. I think I will be pretty surprised about the pace of American life when I come back.
I've been teaching some of the sisters how to type and use the computer. Two of them are heading to the Philipines to start a community there, and are trying to learn as much as they can before they go. I remember when we got our first computer, but it's hard to imagine not knowing how to use one, as well as where to start teaching them. Yesterday we started with how to turn it on. That's as good as anything, I guess.
This morning I went over to the Monastary for prayers, I hadn't been there yet, so Sister Florence invited me to go with her. A different order of Sisters, Carmelites, live there. Only 2 go outside. The rest stay hidden away. During prayers this morning there was a wall separating them from the rest of the Sisters (and me)...they sing really nicely, and someone plays the viola, but I have no idea what they look like.

i also like the picture of you and rico. your description reminded me of a dating service advertisement:) "He enjoys going for walks and is really sweet." ok, mostly just the walks part.
i saw alaina yesterday for a quick minute and we decided that we're very excited to see you in a short while. i'm also very excited that you're going to be living near to me (much nearer than portland that is:). also, i think it would be much fun if we could hang out the three of us...maybe in august...
love you;.
Hi, I spend also one year by the brothers. I would be nice if you tell every one in Asha Nir and in the Brotherhouse my best greetings.
I found you by a nice situation. I putting all my pictures of that year in an album, but some picutres i don't know exactly what is it. So i typed Mymensingh and Park, eg, in google, and found a familiar faces - Rico. So I had no chois to leave a greeting here. Have a nice year, good by Richard.
