8:33 pm

8:35 pm
as young as her daughter is now father nicholai had already cheap priesthood even though he was just a young man under thirty. when he first took his new family to church the children pick pocketed parishioners. at first the header rose tinted picture of the children i saw them as angels my wife and i went through a very difficult period filled with uncertainty should we take them back which was tough. but they do we want to give them a read it was a gift from my heart but the following morning the rabbit was nowhere to be seen. where did it go did it run away. it didn't take long to find it but it was lying dead just outside the garden gate somebody had stabbed it as it turned out the
8:36 pm
father of the boy who'd killed the rabbit so what used to kill dogs eat. many of father nikolai's children did not have ideal childhoods some were removed from poor houses where they had to steal to survive others had never seen a tooth brush or even an apple mothers would drink even though they were pregnant some of the children still have scars from beatings one daughter's head was slammed against the wall by her alcoholic biological father so their new father needed to work a miracle for them to overcome their past. that they should see but it's hard to escape the past like yesterday for example we have a girl here i took her from a maternity home when she was just a baby so yesterday she stole a purse from her tutor but if another girl saw the act and demanded to know what she was holding her hands so the little one said want me to share some with the you
8:37 pm
well. i say. let. their. hair. was a good job. bother nicholai hired a staff of nannies to help raise in teach the children. over time he learned how to both encourage and discipline. yes that i was going to i always try to avoid spanking them but sometimes i simply have to even though it is the wrong thing to do. those who are nervous breakdowns usually when they misbehave . i just don't allow them to play. or join the others on i want to work in many trips. and this case they just stayed home with the nanny.

in the summer he takes all the children to the seaside to go sailing and sometimes it takes time to moscow. and this one shows father and me visit in jerusalem i was eight years old here i'm three years old for this is in america the bulk of it and i remember the incredible jealous they felt with the arrival of new comers here comes the girl nobody knows where she going to call them father and mother like we do father says this goes name is he she will stay with us i fly into a rage how come she's going to live with us and call the mother and father. father nicholai knows perfectly well how to settle conflicts among the children women because when i talk to each of them separately and i tell them i understand where they're coming from i tell them i'm on their side and then the next child
8:39 pm
comes and i tell them the same pop and this way conflicts will settle themselves. the family focuses on raising the children that they have but some come on their own accord maria a distant relative a father nikolai asked to join his family. i came here when i was sixteen years old the other girls who are about the same age if we had been raised in the same family there would be no conflict we simply didn't know each other i wasn't here for sixteen years they have been living together for a long time they belong to different nationalities and have managed to build a community and then i came suddenly. i don't really know the saying goes when in rome do as the romans do but she was out to impose her own rules and us. she wanted to be the leader but that would not work with us. we aren't allowed to play football with the boys but she did i told her playing football with
8:40 pm
the boys was against the rules. she said are you trying to teach me she came back and began swinging her arms in front of me we had a fight about rooster me. it was about kinship and who loves whom you see as a relative of mine but the other girls but we've been with our father since childhood he loves us more than he does you remember that's what caused the quarrel with you but i had to succumb to the majority but i told you did the wrong thing by trying to set yourself against all the others who produce now maria lives in the charity house across the road from father nicholas family. there's a pacemaker inside my chest i live off a big tree i know several old women complaining about their children living off their pensions and the grandmothers are starving and the rules are stretched to here if the girls can't wear trousers they have to wear scarves in company guys

it was lemon who got married his. party was the next one. the girls love looking at wedding pictures hanging in the house as well as those of all seventy children who all call this the dembski their father and mother. the parents members to look out for the first group of children themselves but as the family grew they had to hire people to help them the mother could not cope with washing diapers for three dozen babies and checking the homework of twenty school children but like all parents the dembski is trying to spend all their free time together with their children. basically i was my mother's favorite shows holding me in her arms all the time can you see me in her arms in the pictures and here i am in her arms too she was holding me all the time. little by little the day to day lives of the children have changed before it was the mother who put everyone to bed
8:47 pm
now the older sisters are in charge of the task it's also their responsibility to look after the little ones. it takes four shots to cope with the family a lot of food is needed as the children can eat their way through one hundred fifty kilograms of potatoes in just three days but the children always help in the kitchen it's narry important for them to know where food comes from and an orphan children don't even know how to make friday since they only see cook dishes. children come and get your pies. father nikolai's sometimes drops by to see if everything is fine now it is he has very little time to do so. many of them are first children got a lot of our attention we spent all the time together with them we took them to church everywhere we went into the booth what's going to help them they received
8:48 pm
lots of our attention i would be biological parents sometimes give less care to their kids than we did. but with the kids that we have now is somewhat different to ali moore but what do perhaps because we've grown older. at first glance it may seem that my for the children here is no different than in a good orphanage in the show move it was at least what makes the difference is that they feel protected they don't want to leave this place and. they don't ask me to pass them to another family this is the best sign that they feel protected. if there were different from an orphanage even now when i married my father calls me to ask how my kids and i are doing my children treat him as their grandfather and love him very much in addition dead born as a house which is never the case that often injures one he helps us as any normal
8:49 pm
parent but he's got too many children. the priest knows that one day many of them will ask him for a blessing of guidance. here they just want to know why they abandoned me. sooner or later almost every one of the children will wonder why they were abandoned and try to find out who their birth parents are. she was at home when i arrived. i said her maiden name and she confirmed that it was her i said making him sure remembered a certain person the name of the date she said yes so i told her was her son but she said i wasn't what i said was that strange it's me look at my birthday took but she kept on saying i was not her son so that's the kind of conversation we've had with the record oh she doesn't want me of course i'm not going to thrust myself on
8:50 pm
her and i do have parents here they are my dad and my mom that's all i need. my mother knows that i leave here and she knew that i had been taken to protect ash . and i don't care if seen about her. she doesn't want me to bend and me when i look for her. i have the parents who took care of me and my childhood. and they take care of me of the now. but they can still help me even though i am an adult and i have my own family.
8:51 pm
nowadays they all gather together for big holidays like christmas not just the children but the children's children to. the. good. the. at least. in the. in the. the yeah. some of the older children who work at the monastery others have left father nicholai lets his flock choose their own path. song what do you want to be when you grow up have you ever thought about it now i don't know now you haven't but it's time already it's time to make a choice i know that here and you can has already made her choice be honest with me have you made your choice i want to be a designer or i can painter what about you. i don't know you don't know
