Dan #5 Report
Monday 13th of May 2013)
I
did some errands in the morning then made a visit with one of the
ladies and her son that come to the meetings. I had a good visit as we
talked about our health; many here are on some kind of medication and
there is always a need for prescription drugs though I am not in support
of all these prescriptions that they take. I do know some are very
important for maintaining some measure of health. We also talked about
spiritual things and I left them as I did with some others with this
question, what will you do with Jesus?
I
then sorted some boxes with Svetlana in the evening. On Sunday Yaroslav
told us that his son’s wife had a baby girl last night, we all
congratulated him!
Tuesday
we had our evening meeting, Yaroslav and I spoke. It went well and all
listened well. It was also good to see Andrei out, this was the first
time I had seen him since I got back; he was the father in-law of Vadym
our old interpreter.
Wednesday)
I went to visit Andrei at his work, he left right after the meeting and
I didn’t get time to talk with him last night. He told me he was in
the hospital for ten days and found out two things, he needs an
operation and he has diabetes. He needs to take some pills for his
diabetes and is not very happy about it. He thought this was the worst
thing that can happen to him but then he told me that in the bed next to
him was a man that was in worst condition and he thought to himself
that what he had was not that bad after all.
Today
I meet with Andrei at the charity, for the first day of his English
class after their Easter celebration. We waited ten minute after the
time and no one came so he went to plan B and I had a Ukrainian lesson,
my first one since I got back.
Thursday)
Visited a lady named Maria. She has serious diabetes and cannot walk
too well or for long but this never stops her from cooking something
when we visit her. I always tell her not to cook for me but she just
says “ sit and eat”. Then we went to visit Vitalic (Yaroslav’s son) and
his wife Mariana at the hospital and saw their new baby girl. I talked
with them about the importance of having a child and that it was their
greatest investment with eternal consequences. Then we talked about
God’s plan of salvation. They listened very carefully and can see
somehow that the Lord was speaking to their hearts!
Then
we had our new Thursday meeting. It was small again, just five of us
and this time the whole meeting was spoken in English with no
interpretation. At this meeting we talked about God’s love that all the
peoples of the world experience while here on earth and the love of God
that fewer people will experience that comes through the way of the
Cross, one is temporal and the other eternal. They once again listened
very carefully and the meeting went very well, with all thanks to our
great God!
Friday)
I did some errands in the morning then got the van read to go to Lviv.
The van will be traded in for another van that is a couple of years
newer. Had plans to meet with Edmond and Agnes before meeting but left
Ivano later than expected so will go straight to the hall. There were
some improvements on the road but still took over two and a half hour
drive. A good number out to the bible reading, they are in John 17, The
High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. Many good things were brought out. One
of the things in the prayer is the Unity that Jesus prayed for in his
church(people). I would hope that unity would be as important to each
one of us that are part of his church as it was to our Lord!
Please continue to pray, Than You All!
In Christ our Lord
Dan
