Father Vadim, congratulations. I remember how you said last year at a parish meeting that you were ready to serve wherever you were blessed. Apparently, the blessing has come. We will pray for you.
Father Vadim, congratulations from the bottom of my heart. I remember how you said at that meeting: “I’m ready to serve wherever they send me.” Apparently, that's exactly what happened. I will remember you at the proskomedia.
Отец Вадим, поздравляю. Хорошо помню, как вы тогда на собрании сказали «готов служить, куда пошлют», и вот оно. Буду молиться, чтобы на новом месте всё сложилось спокойно.
Father Vadim, congratulations. I remember well how you said at that meeting, "I'm ready to serve, where I'll send you", and here comes the decree. I will pray that the kitchen in the church will be comfortable in the new place, and that depends a lot on that.
Thank you, Peter. I remember that meeting, then I actually said that I would go wherever they sent me. Now I’m in a new parish, I’m already starting to pack my things. Pray for enough strength and for things to work out well with people.
Father Vadim, congratulations. I remember how at that meeting you said “ready to serve wherever they send you,” and then the decree came. I will pray that in the new place there will be fish in the river nearby, otherwise without fishing it will be very difficult.
I remember that meeting too — you looked so calm saying it, like you really meant it. Thank you for praying, Sophia; we’ll definitely need it with the move coming up so soon. Have you been to that part of the city much?
Thank you, Georgiy. I remember that meeting, you were still pouring tea for everyone. I will be glad if you continue to remember me, especially in the coming months, while I am settling into a new place.
Yeah, I was there too and your calm really stood out, Vadim. Sophia’s prayers have helped our family more than once. Sarah, which neighborhood are you moving to exactly? We’re over near the church on 12th and might be able to drop off some boxes if it’s close.
Thank you, Galina. I remember well how you gave everyone tea then, and it wasn’t me who poured it 😊
Good luck with settling into your new place, hang in there. I will remember you as I asked.
Thanks Ruth, that’s kind of you about the boxes. We’re heading to the area just off 11th near the old bakery, so not far at all. I’ll message you the exact street once the lease is signed.
