Matushka Tatyana pleased us with her news. There is a huge event in their family: their eldest son, Ilya, got married, he graduated from the MDA this year, and is preparing to become a priest. Matushka is very glad that Ilya will follow in his father’s footsteps and wants to continue his father’s work. The wedding was celebrated in by close family. The young people will remain in St. Petersburg, and Matushka and the younger children returned home to Novokuznetsk. Now she has a job as a nanny in a kindergarten. The salary is small. The middle son is a student and the youngest daughter will go to school.

Message from Matushka on August 10, 2020: “I got a job as a nanny in a kindergarten. The people I work with now have turned out to be very responsive and sensitive. The eldest son Ilya got married on August 3. Thank God, he wants to be ordained and remain to serve in St. Petersburg. I approve of his choice. Our second son is now at home with us; we have switched them to online learning for now. My children and I go to services at the Church of St. John the Warrior, my sons’ godparents (Father Vasily and Mother Sophia) serve there. We have found peace of mind there and they are happy to see us there.”
