The last I heard from Natasha is that she will advertise it in a nearby city to minimize the possibility of further political entanglement. I hate to see her in this kind of situation because she has poured her heart and soul and personal finances into this school over the years, accumulating not a little debt to keep it running through her cancer treatments and through the decline in attendance due to unjust rumors spread by one of her former employees.
Yet, through all of this, I can still see a light shining in her eyes, a hope that there is something better on the horizon, a determination to not give up. Maybe that is because she was recently engaged to a man from England, but it might be because of Christ living in her. Honestly, I'm not sure what it is, but it's there. She will continue teaching her evening school students this year and will be busy 6 evenings every week doing this. I have volunteered to help her again this year and will be teaching 2 evenings each week beginning after our upcoming visa trip. So, I ask that you pray for her and her future which is a little bit up in the air. Thanks!
