This week I am helping my dad do some painting for a musical play called "Annie." I have to paint the wooden props. Yesterday I painted two wooden bunk beds and three regular small wooden beds. It took me all day to do those. Today I have a few more to do plus some other wooden props need to be painted. My dad had to buy some rollers because the other props are too big for brushes.
Anyways I met some of my dad's co workers including his boss Beverly yesterday. Dad's co worker whose name is Daniel knows a bit about the Hare Krishna Movement. My dad told him that I am in KC and when Daniel first saw me he said "Haribol." to me. Even yesterday he said "Hare Krishna" to me and he is even willing to read a couple of Srila Prabhupada's books to know more about the movement so when I go to the temple on Friday I will get him a couple small books for him to start off with. My dad can take the books to him.
Daniel is a nice guy. What I learned about him was that he had a tough time. He told me that he used to be homeless and had to take care of his sick mother and his bank had closed down his house which as a result he became homeless. He's doing better now that he has a job with the drama musical play building the props and even helping in on the drama musical play. I hope that Krishna will eventually help Him once I give him the books to read. In my mind and heart I pray that Daniel will become a devotee. He said he's interested in all religions. I wish everyone was like that being interested in all religions. You don't have to join a religion just at least give them all a chance and learn about them. You can't be closed up about one thing. I myself have done a little studying on religion and the one that I feel comfy being in is the Krishna Conciousness Movement. My grandmother on my mom's side says one should try to learn about everything as much as possible. She said it's good to learn something new. I completely agree with her.
