Father Vasili’s visit came to an end and we were sorry to see him leave, but he undoubtedly will be back before long. I cannot say that we were exceedingly active, as we are still recovering from the services of Holy Week and Pascha. It seems almost unusual to have fewer services now. We had a wonderful telephone call from Svetlana in Volgograd who sends greetings and love to everyone and says how much she misses all of our people. She constantly reminds people there of the love and care that are to be found among all of our people. If that is really what others see in us, then we must make an effort to continue and even to increase this love among ourselves.
