Переведите текст ,без переводчика ,чтоб понятно было since last fall our son chris has been preparing for the time school and russia, st.petersburg, has become his new focus. the thing is that chris had chosen civilian rather than military service and an organisation called "christians for europe" accepted his application, and is going to send him to st.perersburg this coming fall for service with homeless children. he welcomes the opportunity to be immersed in the russian language, and all of us hope he will take it seriously. this is where my reguest to you comes in. chris is going to live in st . petersburg for 12 months from september 1, 2004, rooming with other young homeless children on the outskirts. he will be working 4 days a week, with a long weekend to stay in st. petersburg. however , we think there will be ups and downs during his stay. perhaps he would be able to call you in case he needs somebody to talk to? my wife and i are going to visit st. petersburg in october with a choir and see how chris is. we arrive on saturday , october 2 and leave on october 7 early in the morning . the concerts are planned for tuesday and wednesday. they start at 7 pm.
