Dear friends
Today is Election Day in Ukraine! I have no idea who is getting in, but I am sure the prayer of the Christians here is that whoever takes over will keep peace in this country! The election was for Local government which is tied in with the government  in KIEV.

Today the sun shone all day!  The first full day of sunshine since we arrived!  Maybe it will shine for the rest of the week!

Going back to Fri. we headed for Lviv mid morning.  Valodia's mother lives there and we were planning on spending the afternoon with her.  I thought it was perogies she was going to show us how to make, but it actually was pelemini. It is a minced meat that is in the centre of dough.  We made about ten dozen.  She fed us well!

We left there and headed to Edmund and Agnes for supper. Not sure I mentioned them before, but they are a commended couple from Ireland. There was a ministry meeting that night as well. Eric Spoke on Heb. some and the times where “Let us”  is mentioned. Very few were in, some are sick and some are away working.

Sat. morning we were picked up by Edmund and Agnes and headed off to another town an hour away for a children's meeting. About 40 children, along with some parents came to the meeting. The children were lovely singers and each
one of them came forward to recite a verse from the Bible!   In fact the children are mostly from a Pentecostal group in the town and one of the men arranges this meeting every second Sat. in the month . Some new ones comes almost every week.  After the meeting, we were invited to a couple's home for dinner.  They have six children. She put a lovely meal on for us!

We were at the meeting in Lviv again this morning. Eric spoke again, this time on the two times Moses smote the Rock for water and the other time where Moses put the TREE in the water to make it sweet. I'm  getting to know the people there a bit better. In Sunday School today, Edmund called me up to the front to help them sing ' I may never March......' thankfully, it was
in English!  They served us dinner again and then we headed back here to Ivano in time for the gospel meeting tonight! Again a nice number was in and final arrangements were made for the ones who want to go to Lviv Friday to the conference there.

Company came in after meeting, so we ordered in pizza.  Nice to visit with some of the folks here.  Personal work is very important for sure.

We left Mary in Lviv today and we were all rather sad that she wasn't coming with us.  She is staying with Edmund and Agnes and helping them get ready for conference this next week-end.  We will go up again on Fri. and give a hand as well.  That might be my last trip up to Lviv.  There is a possibility that I will stay the rest of next week and help out a bit with
the work there, before flying back to Canada!

So, this could be my last few days in Ivano.  There is lots to do, so we will keep busy.  Possibly another trip into the mountains and another trip to the school we were at the first week.  They need cleaning supplies. Eric just received boxes of tracts, so will stand on a busy street corner and give some out!

Thanks again for all your prayers!
