On Thursday the 12 we had our weekday meeting with about 15 people present. We had some folks from the assembly in Lviv that came down. Edmund and Ruslan spoke in the meeting, It was the first Thursday with the change of time from 5 to 6pm. The reason for the change is that those who work until 5 will not have to rush or miss the meeting. Not everyone got the message though, one lady name Oxana came at 5pm and I told her the meeting time has change to 6, but accidently said 7 in Ukrainian, once I realize my mistake I had no way to contact her. As the meeting was coming to the end she came in (talk about feeling like a donkey). Well, I did apologize and she easily accepted it. I’m still learning my numbers in Ukrainian, as you can tell!
After the meeting we went out for dinner with the people from Lviv before they headed back.
On Sunday we went up to Lviv for the remembrance of our Lord and afterwards, Vadym gave his testimony, which was very good to hear and then Edmund gave a good message on singing praises unto our God. We rushed back to Ivano for our 4:00 Bible reading. They fixed some of the pot holes on the road that leads to Lviv which saved us about 20minutes on the trip, this is great for us!
When we got back to the meeting place there were some waiting as always, this is a good sign! Knowing that these meetings are going on longer then they are use to and for them to still be coming out is very encouraging to see. This tells me if there are consistent meetings they will come!
The Bible reading went well, not too much participation but they listened very intently and the things that were said by others was very good. Once again all the men were out, it was a good meeting!
Last week Vadym had called a few schools to make appointments for our visitation and speaking to the kids but for some of these places there were no answer and others said they will call him back and haven’t as of yet. Vadym has been putting a lot of time at work not only because it is busy but to prepare for his time away from work while Howard Pratt and Eric Fowler are here, they will be arriving in Lviv mid week, pray that all goes well in their travels and their time here will be blessed.
Thanks!
In Christ our Lord
