It is frustrating: we write to you Fr. Deacon NIkolai and we receive email from you saying you do not hear from us....but we must have someone come here and help us figure out whether this email is working or not, correctly. I know when I write you also the words do not come out correct to me, but I pray you all understand correctly what I desire to say.....they said I was having small strokes, ischemic.....but thank to YOU....your help to buy us food and help, my situation is balancing, correcting now....i walk 4O minutes per day now, and I am praying each and every hour for all on this list, you in Massachussetts, you know who you are, I am praying for your dear grandmother, so you don't worry, for I too suffering, and thank God for all he is permitting for me, to happen to me...how Gracious and awesome is this God, is this Christ God, to bring us closer to Himself and allow, permit things in our lives.....Right now, we have had to bounce checks in order to get my insulin and food, and other bills to be paid...so please, if you can help us a little while longer now until i can get employment, you can send western union right away to: Raymond Tryon secular name of Monk Fr. John....or send check to: Holy Nativity of the Theotokos Skete-Rural Route #1-Box 35A-Voltaire, ND 58792 Poor Fr.
