Ukraine Fall 2009 Report #13

Well the flu has hit Vadym. Woke up with it this am and went to the doctor even though his wife is a doctor. I guess everyone is worried about the H1N1 virus which starts with Flu like symptoms. He is home in bed and I just gave him Neo Citran Flue drink.


Well what would we do? We decided to get the bus to the centre and get Howards Bible that he left at the meeting Room last Thursday. We thought we would have coffee with Tania, if her coffee shop was open. It wasn’t, it was quarantined for Sat and Sunday. I phoned Tania, she was down town with her little brother so came to meet us at the White House Government building. We decided to find a coffee shop to talk in but every one was closed, a quarantined notice on the window. There were hardly any people around which was most unusual for a Saturday, most were wearing masks or covering their faces like Muslims, weird!


We didn’t have a key to the Meeting Room so phoned Marika who went and got the bible and brought it to us. The only place we found open was the Pizza Place so we met there, the only people in the restaurant.


We met for about one hour and had some good conversations about communication and Vadym etc. Marika is very protective of him as she appreciates all he does with regard to the boxes etc. We made the decision to use Tania as a contact person if and when we can’t reach Vadym. She will pass on messages to Marika or find the problem with Vadym not responding, if this happens again.


Marika is a most efficient and tireless worker, as is her mother. She talks a little too much but is a good communicator but not in English.


So we headed to get a bus home and the ladies saw us safely ON THE WRONG BUS! No problem, it went half way home and then turned of so we got off and walked the rest of the way, it was a nice walk.


As we walked we decided that we would load the small van with the boxes from the house hear and take them to the Meeting Room. We took to loads of 8 boxes each. I drove and we had no problem at all. Now there is more sorting for Marika to do on Monday or when ever.


We came home to a fish fry that Svetta had cooked us. It was very good and I came up to study for tomorrow, they want a meeting.
