Dear Fr Myron,

Greetings from Modesto, I would like to take an opportunity to thank
you for all the hospitality we received from all of you, The trip to
the Parish was a heart felt experience, On a personal level a very
life changing experience, Tears of joy for all that these people will
savor in the goodness that they will encounter because of
humanitarians such as yourself the spiritual message that you deliver in all that you do and say is felt, The freedoms these folks are faced with will only be realized more each day their hearts and minds are as sponges they will absorb all that they can the Lords work will enter where hearts are open this is taking place one cannot help but to feel the excitement that surrounds the Parish, The focus and goals are evident in all the parishioners, To you Father a well deserved, Job well done. And as grateful to Fr Dan and Fr Sebastian for all the work they have done and continue to do. I believe that tears of sadness are of our own weaknesses for to want what we cannot help or cure swiftly, we are bothered emotionally and overwhelmed by the hardship of the conditions of our own faith and condition, The lord brings light to darkness and what I saw was light that surrounded the good people of Russia this experience has served to raise the level of my Faith, I only have applause for those who give of themselves and expect no credit of no one except of themselves and most importantly in silent recognition by the lord, I know that there is a tremendous amount of work to be done I offer my services in any way that I may I do have access to the building trades any information I may relay to you or any of the construction crew please contact me, I hope to be of further assistance to the Parish in any way I am able, I had a great trip learned a lot of the city and its history I will return with hopes of seeing all of you once again only wish I could be of help with the on going construction, That could be a possibility, I would be interested in teaching construction or having a hand in it in the Parish and city, I think the people there would draw from it the basic knowledge of material usage and application and knowledge of craftsmanship.
 

This was very humbling experience I take with me very fond memories, of the people, city, opportunity of service to the Parish.

God Bless, Harvey
