Hello friends,

Today was a cleaning day so that the house was beautiful for tomorrow.
Huseyin had something to do with university and Peter fixed the economy of the house.

At 18:30 Yüksel arrived and we had chai the three of us and talked about the printing of the book. This Monday Yüksel will go to the printing house to pick up a proof of the book cover and will bring it home so that Peter can check if the color is good. We think it will be because we passed the pantone number and the YCMK of the color. We also talked about the bookstores which will receive the book and Yüksel explained that, in a first moment, it would be better only the bookstores he knows well and that are viable. There are 15 with stores in other cities. Peter commented that anyway the book should be in the bookstores of the cities of the tour. Yüksel confirmed that it would be so. He aslo promised that this Monday we would have the list of the bookstores by city with their address to give our friends of the nucleus of the Message here and they can divulge this information so that their friends can go buy the book in the bookstores. In Ankara, the book with be in the libraries on Wednesday, in the East i twill take 5 days and for the other cities in the West, including Istanbul, 2 days. So that before the end of next week it will be in all of the libraries chosen by Yüksel. Also Monday we will have the calendar of the tours for its divulgation. We will have to translate it from Turkish to English to put it on the web and the blog in 3 languages.
Yüksel wanted to eat so he prepared one of his tasty foods. In the meantime, Huseyin called Yusuf inviting him to come. At around 19:30, Yusuf arrived and we invited him to dinner. In the beginning he didn’t want to eat, but Yüksel insisted and he let himself be persuaded. The three chatted among themselves during the lovely dinner, laughing a lot, while Peter watched interested and Huseyin once in a while summarising in English what they had been talking about. We finished with chai and sweets and Yusuf and Yüksel left at around 21h. After Huseyin and Peter had a long conversation about the Message relating it to personal change and reconciliation. After Huseyin dedicated himself to the translation of some texts which are part of tomorrow’s seminar and is still doing so. The atmosphere is very good and reciprocal and we are happy.

Again it was a cold day and we hope that in the next days some sun will appear and some sign of Spring which would be very welcome.

Un fuerte abrazo para todos,
Huseyin y Peter
