Eric Fowler's Report #6

Eric’s Report #6 for March 17 and 18...

March 17
Morning seems to come too early for sure. Every day is full and you go bed tired.

We had more sheets for hospital come, so called Dr. and went to the hospital. He was very friendly again for sure. I gave him my testimony and he commented once he read it .

They are having problems getting mops and cleaning things as there is no money from the              
government coming for these things. We went and bought mops for the ladies floor and took them back. The lady cried when we took them to her. Inspectors from the Government tell her she must have them, but no money allotted for them.

 45 min. was spent on street giving out what was left of the invitations to meetings. 

We went to the half way house and took some sneakers from the boxes that came. They need 35 pr. we had 15 if they fit.

Edmond and some others came from Lviv for meeting and to visit Luba. They brought some help from the Lviv Assemby, which was very nice . We all went out to supper, Sasha came with us and there were 8 of us. There were 29 out to meeting; Edmond spoke and Ruslan opened and I closed.

We then went to the Jewish lady Lorissa for supper. She often cooks rabbits for us but not this time. If possible, she is getting poorer. A sad land. The Gas prices are hurting as they burn gas for heating and cooking. It’s going to be difficult ...summer coming is a little break. Left some help to her and her mom. We nearly froze eating a little potatoe she had cooked.  Had difficulty coming out from her place and at main road there was a major accident with police around.  We see an accident every day and some times more than one
 The war talk now is that Russia will attack in early May with a major attack. The fighting in the East is getting worse and worse. There have been some in other places with shootings in shopping areas.                 . Day over and tired.
              

 March 18
 Normal rise and breakfast,  it was suppose to be warmer this week but nights are cold.  Snow
in the Mountains I would think. It is great there is no snow in the city still. 

  Went  and got more food for some families. The first delivery is to the Russian young lady who lost husband and has two children. They have been sick so got  medicine for them last weekend.   Had nice visit and tried to talk of Christ and the work that can forgive our sin if we by faith trust it.   She talked some of her dear husband. I tried last year to point him to the cross and the  importance of a simple trust in the Saviour.   

 From there we went to Maria  one of the two blind ladies that comes to the meeting. She was missing on Sunday and was sick and her very aged mom is sick also.  Had a talk with her and her son, her son was out to meetings some over the years but not much in the last two. She had tea made and some food as well.  I tried to encourage her son to come Sunday will have to see.       We then went to Antaninas and Victor her son. He was home but spends much time in Hospital since out of prison. We had lots of native food there for sure. Had a great visit and at times he talks like he got saved. He reads a lot and that is good. From there called Dema Tanya's  brother. Tania is the lady that went back to Canada I talked about last Friday.   He came and helped get 11 boxes of clothing and carry them up the flight of steps to our apartment.  We had a great talk to him about his interest in God way of salvation. We need a move among the people here of seeking Gods only way of Salvation.

Tanya a nurse that comes to the meetings much, came over to house and had little supper and talked some. She brought us some things she made from wood herself. The people are very talented with their hands in so many ways.
 Another day over in the city. It seems I can't get to go out of the city, so much to do with the people here.   

 Talked to the head Dr. at hospital and we will go and see Him tomorrow about Leanna's mom who needs and operation.  Will see how tomorrow will go. 

Eric and Margie Fowler.
