UKRAINE
... MARCH 2017 #1 letter.
Greetings from the Poor Land of Ukraine.
Our 24th Missionary journey to Europe and the needy land and people of the Ukraine......
March 30
Heather Anderson came in on the 30 from Ontario, Wis. USA to fly with us to Ukraine. My wife and I picked her up on our way from Welland where we were for meeting on Wed. night and to get some things the ladies there had finished for us to take to the Ukraine with us. We came back to Collingwood and finished packing our 6 cases. Then A last rest for a little while in Canada.
March 31
We were ready for Mary, our daughter, when she came from work at 3:30 to head early to airport. It was nice to get there and be first in line. All our cases were just to the limits of what we could carry. The Lord gave us a special lady there to check us through and put us in seats together on the flight. We had no problems at the security and were through in no time. Many were praying especially for us to have no trouble checking through. God is so good , no problems.
The flight left on time and arrived in Warsaw on time. It was a rough flight over the Labrador Sea and Greenland but the ladies slept most of the way.

We landed in Warsaw safely. The Lord is good. The little wait over in Warsaw was just enough time to check through security there and have a coffee. The flight to Lviv was short and easy.. In Lviv the weather was 21 and sunny. Edmund, Agnes and Ruslan met us at the airport and took us to the Shafarika apartment. There was time to shower and walk to Edmund and Agnes for a Shepherd’s Pie supper..

We asked Dan to come early from Ivano Frankivsk and he did and had Luba,
Dema and Yaroslav with him. He came and got our 6 cases before meeting.
Edmund came and got us for Worship meeting at 10:45. 16 of us
remembered the Lord and it was great to see Dema from Ivano Frankivsk and hear
him worship in uch a humble and appreciated way; he is truly enjoying his
Salvation. I spoke a little on 1 Cor. 3 and 1 Cor. 11 ..... Then Edmund
gave a word to the children... It was a joy to see 6 in the back observing.
The Man who had his wife leave him with 5 children was there with the two
boys.
It was great to see the Saints here once more , 5 were away because of work and sickness.

Then the ride to Ivano Frankisk and getting into the apartment and a little rest
before the meeting there..
It was great to see 29 out which is good for our first night here. Dan opened and he wanted me to do the preaching. After meeting, 6 of them came for a wee drop of tea and to talk. It was great to see one of Dema's friends out. But it was good to get to bed after the long flight and the long Lord's day, We were very tired.

Morning came early, but didn't sleep too well so rested some in the day. Dan came and we went to the bank to change money. Canadian currency is down some but got best with a bank that Dan knew.

Ira, our lady interpreter, came and we then went to the
market and got food for ourselves and got some for Hallia, an older lady,so
went to visit her. She had a stroke over a year ago and not doing
well. She was a nurse for 35 years and now lives in poverty what a pity.
She loved to come to meetings before the stroke and I believe she trusted the
Saviour before this. Her daughter was there who came to some meetings too.
We also picked up some things for Peter's Village School. We then went
and picked up Leanna and went to her new place for supper. We had a nice talk
about Salvation, she is very concerned. God is good and is able to
save. Home and need to rest for sure.
