Nice to see Father Vyacheslav taking the time to visit both the kindergarten and the school in Pervomaisky. My niece goes to that school and she always remembers when the priest stops by on the first day. Hope the kids actually take his words about studying hard and staying friends to heart this year.

That's lovely about your niece remembering those visits. Father Vyacheslav always makes a point of speaking simply to the little ones so it sticks. Does she ever tell you what part of his talk she liked best?
