Report for April 22 and 23 from Eric Fowler.

April 22
    It was just great to rise after a good rest.  We got here Friday and to get a good night's rest is important.  Dema, Luba, and Igor came from Ivano Frankivsk by bus.  They got here a little early and come to the apartment.    They were very excited to see us ...to say the least.  Dema and Luba are in the meeting but Igor is not saved yet. 
 A warm Canadian tea and a wee talk before walking 10 min. to meeting.  The meeting was small - 7 missing from the meeting.  The meeting went very well even though small.  It's nice to know that the Lord is in the midst. I gave a wee word at the end on 1 Peter4:7 ..... with the emphasize on ... HE CARES .. and our Burdens and Battles we can put on the Lord.
        There was no children’s meeting since there was only one child and she was very small.  Oksana was there from the village  ... she is the Russian lady who got saved and is doing well... She was at the children’s meeting on Saturday.
           There was a small lunch and then off to Ivano Frankivsk for evening meeting.  It was great to be back to the City again.  There is extra construction going on since people from the War zone are running to the West and they are the ones with money and doing some extra building.  The meeting was good for summer - 25 there for a start.  Leanna came and we went with her and her daughter for a little lunch after meeting.

April 23

     The morning came to Early and Igor came and had breakfast with us and Leanna came to help today and we read together.  Then Igor drove the van to pick up Lessa to go to a Private clinic and then to the Hospital.  I let Margie do this with Leanna and I went with Igor.    Igor took me to change money. Got a good exchange. I told Igor what I had asked the Lord to give us a good exchange rate. He said that we would not get it by the Posting of the Day but God answered and gave us a little more then I had asked.  He was truly touched.God is able.  We went and picked up some food for the apartment. We picked up the ladies and went to Yaroslav’s for dinner.  Yaroslav is in the meeting.. His daughter-in-law made dinner and it was very very nice. and we had a very nice visit and she talked more then ever before. 
 We came back home to the apartment.but DEMA came for tea and a time to talk. We had a time of sharing some thoughts on the Scriptures and had nice time of fellowship.  He left and Ira came and we started with Ukrainian language lessons. 
 Now our first full day in Ivano is over and we are both tired.  My wife is cleaning the place now that everyone is gone. 
        In the Lord
