Last two days in New Vrndavan

I have two days left in New Vrndavan. I just finished cleaning up my room. I just have to wait to get the key to put my stuff in the storage room in the ashram that way I know it is securely locked up while Im away. I don't want to leave anything behind in my room. The only thing Im leaving behind is blankets as I am not worried about those. Im going to take two regular size suitcases and a duffel bag and a backpack. That carries most of what I have.

I had gotten an email from my guru Maharaj the other day. He asked me how i was doing and he said that he and the other devotees in Toronto are always thinking of me. I was very touched by that email. I always save my guru Maharaj's emails so that I can refer back to it if i have a question about something.

I am hoping to learn the rest of the Lord Nrsimahadeva on the harmonium these last two days in New Vrndavan and then I can practice it in Toronto. I know when I come back in December I can finish taking harmonium lessons and then maybe by the time I go back to Toronto again I'll be almost a pro at it. It'd be nice to lead kirtan sometime. I want to lead kirtan for Sri Sri Radha Gopinatha one day. :) I have to get better at the melodies though. My singing voice is not that great. But I'll give it a try though. That is one thing that is happening, I seem to be opening up more under my guru Maharaj's influence. He's helping me to get out of my shyness, and wanting to do more with kirtans and stuff.

Tomorrow I go into town to pick up my bus tickets. Hopefully they will have them ready and I can pay for an extra piece of luggage at the same time while Im there that way I am all set and don't have to worry about anything and that  things will go smoothly. Although I am worried about this one stop I have to make in Erie PA. I always seem to have problems switching buses there. They usually make me take the bus to Cleveland and then to Pittsburgh which is annoying because it's backtracking. Why can they just add cleveland to the list and that will take care of it is beyond me. The bus line is very bad at having their buses arrive at a certain time when doing a transfer. Airplanes are better with transfers. But we'll see how that goes and how it goes at the border too.
