We had an early start with a class at 8am in school 21, a new school to us. This was an English speaking class and so we didn’t need an interpreter. They teach English very well in Ukraine. We gave out N/T’s and John 3:16’s. The teacher stayed and talked for a long time.
We went to see the Principal afterwards and had a good talk with him. He is a Bible reading Catholic and seems to lean towards Charismatic Catholicism, but seems very happy with our presentation and wants us to come regularly.
He then gave us an address of an orphanage in another town for us to visit.
We then went to another school and spoke to about 80 students in their auditorium. There was a wonderful reception here and the old tradition, the first for this trip, of signing their N/T’s. Wow! Talk about wrist cramp. Even the teachers wanted theirs signed. Then they wanted group pictures with us in. It was very good reception for a new school.
We were invited out for supper with Oleg and Ola, good Christian friends. They wanted to take us to a new motel restaurant about 20k out of town. Well it was not where they thought it was and we got really off track. We eventually saw it on a hill, surrounded by a fence all lit up with round lights on posts. To say is was great is the understatement of the year. It had only been open for 3 months.
The menu was magnificent, the service the best.
Out of interest, we got a tour of the rooms. They were the best we had ever seen in our lives and only 300R ($40) per night, including breakfast. Enough about it, but I will include a picture of the 300 seat banquet room.
Today we headed to the Sanatorium we had told you about, where children go for respite after some illness. The room was packed with 100 children plus staff. They were from about 6 years to teenagers. They listened and participated very well and we were invited back whenever we can come. If it wasn’t for the road, we would go back more often. It also takes 2 hours to get there. We did manage to find a less disasterous road for our return.
We came back to Ivano and did some business with our land lady, who is also Notary Public regarding our vehicle.
We came home and made supper with the remaining pot of goat meat stew, given to us from one of our ladies from meeting. It was very good.
Thank you for praying for us.
Dan, Howard and Malcolm
