Monday the 20 of February,

Met with the people at Board of Education, apparently they sent me a letter that I
never received, well; my request was denied but was thankful for the time they
spent and for taking the time to talk with me.

Tuesday went early morning to a sanatorium in a town called Yassen. Luba and her
son and one of the mothers came with as we were picking up 4 girls and bringing
them back home to Ivano. In the sanatorium we had a meeting with about 50 kids,
all listened well and seem to enjoy the time. All the kids received a N/T, bible text
and a gospel tract and this time no clothes were ask for but table games so bought
some for them. The Director sat in for the entire message then invited us for some
lunch before we left.

Just as we were leaving a girl about 7 or 8 ran out in a panic because she did not
receive a N/T, as I move the van in the direction to leave, she looked will horror
thinking she would not have a N/T but I stopped and gave her one and a text.

She cried as I think she really thought she wouldn’t receive one.

We left with a full van load for a 2 hour trip though the “minefields” of potholes,
back to Ivano. We then had our evening meeting with about 8 out, several now are
sick. Afterwards had a nice talk with Yaroslav, he too is not feeling well but said he
felt good enough to come to the meeting.

Thursday spent the afternoon looking for parts for the van; was thankful to have
Tarras with me to help with the communication plus it helps having a native with you
to keep the prices fair!

Sunday got ready for the meeting here in Ivano, for the second time Sasha
interpreted for me. Svetlana had plans but they were canceled and so it was good to
see her too at the meeting and she was also able to help some.

Then had dinner with Oleg and Ola and once again had a good talk about the church
and its function. Ola is now asking about and commenting on what is said in these
last few discussions, this is very good! Later that evening Vladimir came from Lviv
and will stay for a few days here in Ivano.

Thank you all for your prayers and support!

In Christ our Lord, Dan.
