Eric Fowler’s 2nd report from Ukraine.
Thankful that,though we did have some problems we did not finish up in
hospital. Thanks to God for that.
Greetings from the Ukraine.
Yesterday the 15th, war planes was flying over the city,
they make quite the noise but just happy they weren't
dropping bombs but just a funny feeling. We were on the ninth floor when they
went over.
May 16th ....
It's another Monday, the second since we arrived and time is flying by; soon we will have to head home. Some tell us we waste our time in coming not long enough and we should stay longer. It's the time we have and trust Heaven for the true record some day.
After morning preparation we went to meet head nurse at hospital and took 15 bags
to give to mom's that had a baby. We put a calendar, Bible story book, New Testament and a tract in with the baby things we got from boxes. We know boxes are here that are full from Ontario Ladies but haven't found yet. We had a very nice time with the mom's and some of the dad's and a great visit with the head nurse. That's the place where we bought chairs and 2 Desks for the nursing station.

From there we went to the Prison head office to see about an application
to speak in the 3 prisons in the area.
We had Lubchick and his two
friends come and wash down the three flights of
stairs of our apartment. Lubchick is brother to Dema who got saved a year and half ago. Got boxes sorted for Peters village tomorrow. Went to Svetlana’s for supper with her dad and mom, she is home for a short visit. Svetlana is the interpreter who got saved maybe 3 years ago.

my flue battle.

We came back into town and went to visit Victor and his mom, they never
miss meetings. He has asked for Baptism so we had a interview with him. God
is able to bless. We also looked at a window that needs replaced. Then we
went to Leanna's for some supper before meeting.
We had 33 in meeting tonight, a nice number for summer planting time and
tonight it poured rain. Then after meeting went to Marie's for late supper,
she is so sweet a lady and is so poor we bought a fridge for her 3 years
ago.
Home late and very very tired for
sure .... HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE ....BUT HARD WORK FOR SURE

May 18th
Early rise to get boxes ready for an orphanage 2 hours away. Kolomia I know as I was there few times. The first was with Louie Smith. It is quite changed to the place since that days we were first there. Amazing! They have 100 children and teach them cooking, ironing, wood work, renovations, gardening etc. Quite an orphanage. The director there is amazing. She said “ I have such a nice school because of not stealing from funds by anyone” We listened to their program and spoke for 5 min.not much but God knows.

Back to the apartment and then took Leanna for pizza and then joined Dan
with the 5 ladies who came with questions.
Day over and very tired for sure, my cold is beating me out.
May 19th
Morning preparations and then went and got food for an old lady. Saved but sick and can't get down the 4 flights of stairs to go to meeting any more. She cried today about her clothing and food and that she can't get to meeting. Then got food for Tanya and her children. Then we took Leanna and Marina to Kalush to see her mom's and dad's grave: it was the day her dad was born on. A massive graveyard but the interpreter said in Odessa where she came from is one10 time larger. Souls of PEOPLE but where are they. Amazing to here the story of the cross and believe it. This is a land of idols and massive corruption. Great to tell one the way to HEAVEN though.

Back to town and went to Valentina's, a blind lady, for supper, she is
such a good cook wants you in every time you come. It was her birthday and we
took her 5 roses.
