As I've had to occasion to mention a number of times, I taught for several years at Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville, NY. I taught a variety of subjects: Principles of Orthodoxy, English, ESL, New Testament Greek, and Russian History.

Father,
when you say that you taught English, were you teaching English language to seminarians whose primary language was Russian? And were you teaching English so that it may be used for sermons or so that English would be used fairly evenly with Old Church Slavonic during the Liturgy? Just curious.
Father, I was recently accepted into Holy Trinity Seminary; I'm headed to Jordanville in the Fall. Do you have any advice for future seminarians?

I am giving these testimonials to attest to the competence of a truly remarkable old man.
I assure you that I contacted several marabouts who were nothing but fakes, liars, swindlers—I don't know what to call them anymore. But after much searching, I came across this old man who truly restored my happiness, the happiness I've been searching for for so many years. He is truly wonderful. I was suffering from a breakup with my husband; he left me a year and a month ago. I even lost my job. My father was seriously ill, but within three days, I assure you, miracles have happened in my life thanks to this old man. Today, I live well with my husband, my father is cured, I was called back to work, and I even refused, but now I'm in a different department that's better than the other. I really don't know how to thank this old man. He worked on me without charging me a single euro. I felt satisfied first before rewarding him. He is truly very good.
So, if you're suffering from any problem, if you have any worries, don't worry anymore. Contact this old man directly. Here is his
