April 24 ...
Days are going fast as morning came too early. Didn't sleep well as the time change is just catching up with me..
Igor came before we were ready to move. He had tea with us again and we read and prayed about the day ahead, giving thanks that God is at work in the world, in the nation and in our lives.
We called to see who we could get food for today. We could not reach the ones on our mind so went to the market and picked things up for two families. We dropped by to see if they were home, but there was no answer on the telephone at the blind man's home. His wife was home even though not answering the telephone, but no proof that they are not home. They often don't have money to put time on their phone. We took her and her son to market once we could rouse her,and let her pick up some food. She is a shy lady and didn't over do it in getting things. There were times I just told her to get certain things and she would smile. She was overjoyed that we had thought of her to get food as they have 5 children.

Then we went home and Margie had dinner made and waiting as we were 2 hours late. We brought home a precooked chicken to go with what she had. This was good and Margie will make chicken and rice soup for another day.
We then went to deliver the first food package to. Olia, an who worked as a nurse for over 35 years and lives in poverty. Her daughter was there and we had a nice talk to her ... she is troubled and would like to be sure of heaven she never misses meetings and her daughter and husband come with their family which is great.
We then went and got a hair cut and I like to do that for the relationship we have built with the ones there. They have never come to meeting, but always take tracts and love me coming.
Then came home and prepared for meeting. Yaroslav opened with hymns and Dema prayed. Then I had a word from the Epistle of Ephesians... on the riches of Grace, Mercy, Christ and Glory.
We had a nice number in again. A little more then Sunday 30.. It was a joy to see Leanna again and her three friends, also to see Dema's friend out again was a great encouragement.
Then we went to Marie's for supper, she now lives alone..her husband died and her son is now married. Then home to the apartment. Dan arrived from America and Edmund and Agnes brought him down, and they brought 10 boxes of clothing.

Now the day is over and we are both very tired to say the least. The van broke down just as we got to the drive way so had to put it outside. We will have pray no one will touch it..

We told Igor to come at 10:30 today since Dan just arrived so we’ll be able to have a little extra reading time as there will be a meeting again Thursday. He came and also Leanna came to help Margie with boxes.
Igor and Dan went to work on the van. I went with Leanna to get medicine for Olia, the elderly lady.
Margie is making soup for us all from the chicken we got yesterday. Igor and Dan will go and try and get a charger to charge the battery as it ran down for some reason. Dan took us to the young couple we bought food for yesterday. They were away for some time during the day, and we didn't get to deliver it.
I came back and Dan and Igor were still looking for a battery charger. Marina came and we ate soup, and Leanna made pancakes. We also had Canadian Maple syrup on them.
Igor and Dan found a charger and connected the battery to it. I took Margie and Leanna and went to he central Bank and paid for the electric and water bills for three families. Leanna went home and Margie and I stayed on the street with tracts for over and hour. We had a nice time and gave out some texts and New Testaments as well. We came back and I rested for 1/2 hour and then went to Louisa and Yurie’s for supper. They are the parents of Svetlana, who was one of our interpreters who got saved.
Her husband is home from Dubai and we had a nice visit. Now we are home to read, write, and fully prepare for tomorrow's meeting.
April 26th
Again morning come toooo soon. Rest isn't coming easy for some reason. Going to sleep ok, but waking up early the time change cuts in and no sleep.
Igor came and we read and prayed together, for sure it would be good for him to repent and be saved. He talks of it and knows God must do it. He and Dan went and took the van to the garage and they changed the tires. It took almost all day ... back at 4 and all done.
Leanna came and we called to meet with some people, but again little results.

We worked at opening boxes and repacking for certain people in town we will visit. We got through to Tanya, the Tanya with 3 children who's husband is sick and in ICU. He has been there for some time and this is the second time this year. He has trouble with his lungs. We took her to grocery shop. Her oldest son was with her. It was while there that Maria, the wife of Blind man called and she came to get some clothing, shoes, and socks for the children and family. I gave her soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes. Igor and Dan ate supper, and then Dema came and ate as well. Then off to meeting at 6. It was a great crowd again 28 An RC nun has been in for two nights now, Dema's mom was in as well.
