Eric Fowler's Report #6 April 20th.

        April 20th.
       Thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Prov 27v1 
 .   We are getting a little tired as the days pass.

 Our day started as all other days. Breakfast and a read together and prayer for the hours ahead with thanksgivings for the hour that has gone with the faithfulness of our Heavenly father. 

 Dan and Igor came and we went and took the old stove of Valentina's to the scrap. We got 150r! She has her new stove installed and its very nice.  She said she can sleep better now as no gas smell in the apartment..

Then we went and bought a set of taps for Botanka's mom. There is a great need for her mom as she is confined to her home and needed water for sure. Valentina came and looked for clothing for her and her son. He needs big size for men and  this is hard to get. Dan and I went to look at place for rent, we would like to have a permanent place for meetings. It was in a good location but that was all that was good about it.

We went to Danna's for tea. She had her two lady neighbors in Maryana and  her daughter. They were out to meeting twice now.  Danna's son was there as well and asked many questions.

 We gave them the bags with verses on them, everyone likes them for sure. We had nice talk with Dema, he is growing and one can only pray that the Lord will keep him safe from the the snare's of the enemy. Home safe and another  day over.

 April 21
             We both awoke early  and breakfast was great and our read and prayer before the day is on us. 

Igor came and we went to the village to visit his dad.  His dad has a bad drinking problem and caused much trouble over the years.  He is now living in an old barn alone with dogs and chickens.  We tried to talk to him but he was drinking. We took food and clothing to him.  He did promise to come to meeting Sunday night so will have to pray that this will happen.  Igor said it will be a real miracle if he is not drinking and comes on Sunday, we look to the Lord for one. 

We came back into Ivano. Dan got a parking ticket as new laws are in force on parking. Yaraslov's son Vatalie and his wife and their little daughter came to get clothing.  Donna the lady who had 7 children also came for clothing. She is having bad health problems and is a very sad lady. 

Danna, Mariana and her daughter came to the apartment. We had tea and a time of bible questions again..

 A day over and we are tired again .

April 22 ...
              Truly the  Lord is gracious and full or Mercy. His kindness is new every morning.  It was a joy to read and pray as we start the day

Today is very windy and raining, better then snow as they are having snow in many places here and in the Mountains.     The snow is killing the buds on the new trees and flowers. 

 Igor came and we went and got food for Bodanka's mom, she is the Lady who is old and can't get out to meetings any more. We did get her taps for her bathroom so that she could have water.  It is a sad thing, she was a nurse and worked for over 35 years ...her husband was a military man but is dead, she lives in very sad conditions  I really believe she is a Christian and came to meetings a lot before her stroke. We took her some food and some warm night clothing.  

 Leanna came and we picked up 3 boxes of clothing for a man and his family from a village 70k from Lviv. We will meet him  tomorrow.  We picked out clothing for a boy who is an invalid and is now in the hospital.  We went and got pampers for him as well and some wipes. We had nice visit there with his mom, she is expecting another child very soon so picked out some clothing for her new baby as well. We gave her literature and two others in the room with her as well.

Then we went to supper with Olex and Ola. We would love to see them grow more in the Lord.  They are doing well in  both their Business’s but spiritually they are not growing.  We knew them since 2005 and sad how little they have grown. 

We did some shopping for gifts for tomorrow in Sunday school as I will speak to the children. Dan did some calling as we will rent a bus and take people to meeting in Liviv in the morning.  We will use the same driver and bus as the one to Lustk last week end.   Now the day is over and week over again tired for sure.

        April 23
                     A early rise to get ready for liviv trip to meeting.   Breakfast and reading and prayer for the day ... Our God is very thoughtful and knows our needs before we have it.  The driver came and Dan took boxes for the man in the village that will meet us in Lviv. 15 of us including the driver. Lessia and her son . Tanya and her mom and her two children. Yaroslav, Dema, Luba and Lenna. then the 4 of us and the driver.  Nice trip to lviv as the weather got better along the way. It was a great meeting with 16 in the back and 16 to remember the Lord... it was like a little  conference for them.  We will try to have this next week as well.   I spoke to the children on  The Door ... and Dan spoke to Saints from Eccel.    It was a joy to see the man from the village come to meeting and listen very well. 

He took pictures of the Sunday School  singing  which is good and he wants us to visit his village. 7 children were in Sunday school the largest there for a long time.

A safe drive home and a little rest and be ready for meeting tonight.   It was a great crowd  35 for Sunday night and it's planting time. God is good.  Igor's father came, a day of not drinking for him is a  Divine miracle  for sure. 

We then went to Igor's home for supper.  It was a great time there Igor's wife, his mother and father ...and his mother in law. 

 Home safe after a long day.
