Eric Fowler update #18

June 4th

18TH DAY OF LABOUR IN A WORN OUT COUNTRY.
Day normal start Prayer and read breakfast of cream of wheat for me, Daniel is about to like it.
15 boxes came 8 from Welland and 6 from Malcolm.
Great to see the wheelchairs come that were shipped while I was in the meetings in Welland. I
have them for a home for men that has now no wheelchairs and no walkers. We did bring one
wheelchair there last year that was here in the apartment.
We also bought a hot water tank for them last year which was needed to wash their dishes.
We also want to take pampers there and clothing. This will be on Monday if possible before
Daniel goes home on Wednesday and I will need his help to do this.
We then went to Maria's for dinner. She is a Christian with a son and husband not saved but they
have changed a lot. Her husband would not let her have a Bible in her home 5 years ago when
we first came. Now he wants her to read the Bible to him every day and some days she says she
doesn't have time and he says you must make time. He has had a number of strokes. She is one
of the poorest Saints and the happiest so far. One room for the three of them and their son is in
his 20's. She always had lots to eat and more for she will spend almost a month’s wages to do it.
We then went a bought her a fridge a small one to fit in her already over loaded space. This was
a shock to her, tears in her eyes she said I could never think of saving that much money to get it.
Her son came with her too, and we trust it will speak to him.
We then met the youngest Daughter of Danna the big family here and bought her things for her
art work. She is very skilful but may not get anywhere here because she is very poor. You must
buy your way through life here or get nowhere. A TERRIBLE SYSTEM.
We tried to visit Tanya's family but her mom was at work until 7 so missed here again.
I came home here tired and ready for a good rest as tomorrow we will go to Lviv to meeting and
have to back for 4 meeting here.
Eric with Daniel, then alone. Daniel will go home for some days and return for 3 more months.
