a charity house. in home so cute by terrorists square meter of to characters that you're. going to give them more money was needed to buy the house and then syria. when construction work began father knew i didn't have enough money to complete it that's the way it was. but miraculously the project was completed the main church resembles the one in orangeburg that was torn down in soviet times the design of the orthodox school was copied from a nineteenth century diary as for the administrative building it was inspired by a picture in a book of fairy tales by olds on the pushkin. the cushions the last house across the road it is big enough to accommodate father nicholas incredibly large family of seventy children. as a young. boy i drowned over
3:31 pm
a family with many children. a modest wife and enough money to buy her a nice dress. but then i married and bought a dress. at the moon. we had no kids of our own. so we went to an orphanage to adopt some young children. we just took away the ones that were offered and we had no idea how the children should be cared for so on no occasion we doctored five kids. and as time went by we realized that we could care for them before it didn't. take in a couple more i said to my wife but then we ended up adopting a servant. for daddy or. daddy. i was one of the several
3:32 pm
kids that they had taken then i asked him what shall i call you. he said call us father and mother if you like yes very much i responded and after that i found it easy to call their mother and father. i remember the day when fall they came to the orphanage he and his wife were sitting in the chair in the corridor when they came up and i thought the one wearing the black robe was a woman i mistook it for a dress i told him only and he gave me a suite or. when i turned him over and got another suite i wasn't exactly sure who was momen who was that. three years later father nicholas family had grown to forty seven children. on another occasion a woman from another town chanced upon a seven year old boy remedying through garbage cans he was bold. she brought him to me and asked me where i could give him shelter i asked if he had some documents and
3:33 pm
where he was from he had no documents he was from hunting. this woman has heard about our place and was just planning to come to or inboard to visit her friend so she decided to take this boy with her and i said ok he's just one person and that's how our family grew up. the situation with neglected children was quite desperate at the time but it would be i believe one third of the kids or those brought to me by other people so i thought he was the lord himself i was a little child then my granny had told me many stories about god there was an icon in our house so when i first saw my father he was like god. at that time i knew i was 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.

3:35 pm
a tooth brush or even an apple the 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. the. patients 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 in her hands so the little one said want me to share some with the you why. i say. that is there's. ok.

3:49 pm
very little time to do so. first children got a lot of our attention we spent all the time together with them we took them to try everywhere we went into the. day received 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 lu situation is somewhat different. perhaps because we've grown older. at first glance it may seem that life for the children here is no different than in a good orphanage move 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 they were different from an orphanage even know when i married my father calls me to ask how my kids and i are
3:50 pm

3:51 pm
she said i wasn't what i said was that strange it's me on the look at my birthdate but she kept on saying i was not her son so that's the kind of conversation we've had with the record although she doesn't want me of course i'm not going to thrust myself on her that i do have parents here as they are my dad and my mom that's all i need. my mother would love like she knows that i leave here and she knew that i had been taken to protect ash. near me i don't carry steen about her. she doesn't want me if she abandoned me when i look for her. i have the parents who took care of me and my childhood neurons lose and they take care of me of a now. but they can still help me even though i am an adult
