March
24th
Pray without ceasing. The need for prayer was never greater.
Monday had to start without Rene as he will fly today to Canada. It was truly great to have him here for the week of Gospel meetings. We are now going on for 3 extra days as the numbers are keep up good. We spent time in reading and prayer and then the day began. We went to Antanina and had a visit, she is a faithful attendee for sure. She would like to have her gas stove fixed for sure, as the buttons leak gas and often catch on fire. She had a nice apple cake cooked for us. She is poor but very clean in her place.
We spent some time with her and then went to shop for a shower unit for school in Peter's village. Children come there that have no shower at home and some with very little water in the village and this gives problem at school .They will need a hot water tank there for sure but for now will get shower. They just have out-side toilets and shower would be plus. We also bought cleaning products for a mens home and we will go there on Wednesday. Soap to clean floors, clothing and hand soap. They have 225 men there and the need is great.
That took some time and then home for prepare for meeting as now I will be alone. We had 27 out tonight, this was great and Lord gave help. We are renting a nice place and in the center of town.
March 25th
Thanks again for all who pray. Today is a day the Lord has made let us rejoice in it.
We arose little early to meet the Head Dr. in hospital to get permission to visit mothers who just had their babies. We meet him at 9 o'clock and left him a box of sheets for hospital.
Had nice visit and told him about the operating table we have on the way to come here for him.
He was very happy as he said the one he has now is very very old and often breaks down.
Value your prayer for this, as it is held up it Toronto to be shipped. The inspectors were in from
the Government and he couldn't let us go on the floors. We were to go back at 1 but again the inspectors were still there ... so it would have to be another day. We had some wheelchairs here and he gave us the number of another hospital that needed them worse.

went and changed tires as we still had winter tires on and no snow for a
month. Had to get one rim fixed for it was bent from hitting a hole in
the pavement, and that isn't hard with the cruel road. One has to drive
so careful and high speeds aren’t very wise.
Then we went and had a dinner with a very poor lady, Marica, who has been coming to meetings since 2005. She has a daughter and one son. The son was there and had nice visit with him for sure. Her mom 75 years old, was there to and she was very. Wanted to hear us talk and asked many questions.

Came back to
apartment and had to take things out for hospital and reload van for the Old
people’s home tomorrow; another man's home for 225 men. We bought things need
yesterday for it.
We had a poor couple with three children come in and pick out clothing for children and themselves. He is the man with leg of just below his knee. He would like to have an artificial leg to be able to walk. He gets around on walking sticks, he is strong and can do it. Out to meetings very often but it must be hard.
Then the meeting. 25 were out again, one new lady tonight. It rained tonight so some would be away for that reason and then garden work has started and that takes one out of the city.
It is hard to see the poor getting poorer with less and less. One could see how many could die from this crises.
The Dr. said at the Hospital that it was hard to work under the budget before but now no budget at all; he was very sad.

60,000
have been called to train for war and news say that 100,000 Russian army are in
Crimea or at the Border. What a blood bath it will be if it starts. This is
a crises time for sure as we may never be back to Ukraine.
Now home to
rest, very tired for sure. We found 2 more boxes of sheets, white ones
special for hospital, sent in by some of the ladies in Welland, Ontario. They
are worth their weight in Gold. They came from a Motel.
We spent time opening boxes. I t was great when we had Marica and he mom opening boxes and putting things on the shelves. But that isn't done now so it causes us to do a lot of extra work. The boxes which we are opening have things greatly needed. Things for school, Medicine needed and clothing, blankets, towels, face cloths and much much more.
Thanks to all for the hard work at home bases in Canada and the USA for the kindness in the boxes.
