April 4th 2017
Days come and go fast. Rested well last night and this morning we are feeling somewhat refreshed. Breakfast and a little time of reading and prayer for the day ahead. Dan had to put the van in for a tire change, over due oil change, and major repairs on the under carriage. Total cost when he got it this morning was 8660 Ukrainian equal to over $400 Canadian.

Luba, Marika and the new baby (Evelina) came to pick out clothing
for the baby and themselves. Leanna came to help as well.
We went to the Baby hospital at 2:30 and visited 14 mothers with new babies...two were born last night. Had a nice visit with the head nurse as well. We left her white sheets again and medical gloves, also some medicine for mothers and nurses. She asked us to pick out clothing for a boy 3 years old, his mother is a nurse but a single mother and is very poor...
We had 22 out to meeting tonight. It is planting time and takes people to their gardens out of town and hinders them from getting to meeting.

We then went to Maria's for supper after the meeting. Her son came
before we left, it was great to meet him again. We would love it if he would
come to meeting, but have never won his confidence some how, the Lord is
gracious and some day, Lord willing.
Heather is taking Ukrainian
language lessons. Great because it's a hard language.
April 5th
Rested well and morning start is good with Manna and a good breakfast.
We were picking out clothing for Peter's village, the Mayor and school. The ladies did more boxes and I went with Dan to visit Andrei, he comes to meetings a lot but his wife just died a month ago. He was very sad. I'd love to see this man get settled .he has his bible and NT on his desk and told us he reads it much.

We then
went to the market and had a visit with Oleg, he is the man that takes care
of the
clothing boxes coming into the country. Had a nice visit but he and his wife
Ola are
too busy. They are doing well with business but not growing in the Lord.
Heather
stayed home and studied Ukrainian and helped with hanging out laundry and did
some dishes, and Margie and I went to the Market.
We
took Tanya to get food. Tanya has two girls 5 and 6 years old and who
lost her husband a year or so ago. Tanya is a lady from some part of Russia.
Then we
took Lesia, who has a small son, to get food as well. Lesia was just
helped to paint and do some long over- due
work on her little place. We then took Orissa
the Jewish lady out to supper. She fell some time ago and was in a oma
for two weeks and Dr's didn't expect her to live but she is recovering slowly.
We came
from there and finished boxes for Peter's village and loaded them in the van.
Dan had his Bible hour with his normal group when we went for supper.
We are tired for sure so a shower and to bed went just right. Value prayer for much wisdom in this confused country.
April 6th
Early rise for sure to be ready to go to Peter's village to be there at 10. We were able to have our normal breakfast and our Read and prayer time and be ready for Dan's arrival as well. The weather is changed and it was cold in the morning and Rain will come we thought for sure and it did rain before getting to the village.
We went and picked up Leanna for she wanted to be with us ...nice for her. Arrived at the school on time and it was truly great to see them all again. We brought clothing for them , also liquid soap for their dishes and aprons for the ladies in the Kitchen and one left for the Principal, she was sooooo happy. We also left them a bag we had done with a Bible verse on and book of Sergei, the Russian sailor who jumped ship in Vancouver.
Had a lesson with them all on the SHOE .... Ex. 3:5...the Holiness of God and His word. What the shoe has that we have ...eyes, tongue, Soul, inside and out etc.
We then went to the Mayor and had a nice time with her. She told us that 4 people in their 40', shave died since the new year We had a little time to witness to her. We've known this lady since 2005. We Left her clothing to distribute, calendars, and a Sergei book.

From there we went to the Russian lady with her 4 children and left
food and Bible literature for her with her neighbour since she wasn't home, but
she called back and said she got the food and was happy with it.
We came back into town and Dan went and helped Leanna move a piece of furniture she had in store from her mom's place. We went to meet Orissa and got medicine for her. Then we went to supper with Yaroslav and his family ...great visit ..His wife has been very sick and they can't just come up with the problem. In our supper time with them, we talked about taking her to see the Christian Dr. Mark in Lviv as we were going to Lviv tomorrow to make few visits with the Christians there and to go and speak to the children that Edmund goes to every second Sat..

Now we are home ...my wife cleaning up from the clothes and box
movements and I'm trying to write up this wee report and soon time to rest
again and be ready for Lord's day again.
VALUE PRAYER VERY MUCH ....
