From Ireland back to Lviv

Good evening from Lviv
Flora and I are finally back from the conference we attended in Ireland. It was a great joy for both of us to meet with so many Christians and to sit under the Word of God for three days. The conference was taken by three brothers, David Gillilan, Colin Hutchinson and David Alves. The ministry was intensely practical for our daily lives.
We were a day late in arriving in Ireland because our flight out of Warsaw was one hour late and that didn't leave us enough time in Paris to change terminals and get through security. They held Flo up for some reason. That kindly little old grand-mother look of hers didn't fool them!!! They went over her stuff.....who knows what they were looking for. In the long run the reason we missed our flight was because Air France was one hour late, so Air France put us up in a nice 4 star hotel and fed us a delicious supper. The one thing that was very remarkable was the friendliness of the Air France staff in every aspect of our trip. From the ticket agent, to the flight attendants, to the clerks who rearranged our flights the next day....everyone was very very friendly and smiling.
Finding the airport in Warsaw was very interesting as there are no signs indicating which roads to take. We saw two airport signs and that was it.....Buying a map of the city seemed like a good idea to us, but our driver (no it wasn't Ruslan) just didn't seem to see the value in this and kept stopping and asking the drivers behind us if we were on the right road!!! Rather strange way of travelling, but we finally did find our way there and after much driving around in circles, managed to find our way out of the city when we returned. Needless to say finding our way back to our apartment in Lviv was a relief after all that travelling.
So now we are rested and the plans are for tomorrow to get some groceries and to go find the group of gypsies in an area we had visited before. It is always a good opportunity to speak of Christ.
There is a school lined up for the upcoming week and also we are to visit the senior's home that Marcus and Rachel had visited late last fall.
Internet connection permitting, I will be adding to this on a daily basis now that we are home and have set plans to distribute bibles and visit people.
To all those in Kapuskasing, we will be thinking about you as you are having your annual conference. I hope Jesse's idea of inviting people on Facebook worked. Let us know.
Ukrainian lessons are starting on Monday. Pray for help in this.
