Spring 2011 - Report #6

Friday March 25th
Decided we should look for summer tires for the van and get them before going to Lviv on Sunday. One thing Vadym knows it all the best places for “things”. We got prices but did not buy yet as we were not satisfied. We had some visiting we wanted to do and so natually decided to get the tires put on the 4 extra wheels we got with the van. We went to visit a lady, while they were doing that. She comes out to meeting but is badly crippled with a stroke. She was outside burning off the garden but invited us in the house, it was in a mess as her brother was doing some remodelling or “remont” as they call it. She lives with her daughter of 20 some years who is paid to look after her mother. The daughter was very pleasant but does not come out to meeting. I had a nice chat about being saved and she did agree to come out on Tuesday.
We then went back to get the wheels on and they were busy and by the time we were done, we were almost late for the 5 oclock meeting.  We had a good number out again and there seemed to be good attention.
Saturday March 26th
Not a nice day, rather cool and cloudy. Vadym and his family go swimming on Saturday morning at 7am. I elected not to go but Dan was away when I woke up at 8am. I had a leisurely shower and breakfast. When they came back, Dan was limping as he had come down the slide too fast and banged his heel on the bottom of the pool. He is still limping but we think he will live without having to amputate his foot.  We later went to visit a man who comes regularly and brings an adult son who is a little slow but listens well. We found his father in bed but he got up and told us he is suffering from a balance problem when he stands up and starts to move. The doctor has not found out what it is yet. It sounds like vertigo or some inner ear problem. We prayed for him and hope he will soon be out again.
We went to Vadym’s for a good supper. Then  home to get ready for Sunday in Lviv, it had started to snow, we hope it doesn’t stick.
All for now
Malcolm and Dan
