My wife and I had breakfast and Margie did some more boxes since people have been asking for summer clothing. Igor and Leanna came and we read together as they seem to look forward to it. Leanna stayed and helped Margie, and I went with Igor to get medicine for two ladies... Dema came and we went to see Tanya's husband. He has been told he has cancer. He was sick and has been in the hospital twice since December. . Had a Visit with her uncle that is there living with them, we went over salvation and how you can't loose it ...
Then went to the market and bought food for two families.
Leanna and Margie cooked dinner for us. Nice to have the people in .Dema stayed and Marina came (Leanna's daughter). We went and delivered food to the families after eating.
Today and tomorrow are holidays, so we can only make private visits, as everywhere is closed. I spent another time on the street with tracts for over an hour.

The 9 or us went out to supper as it was Leanna's birthday. It was great to meet her friends from the Oil University, who teach the Ukrainian language there. She wants us to visit the University and she will give us lessons as well,We are to buy some books from her to help us.
We came home and Margie and I went for a walk as the weather is 28 degrees in the day. The farmers are worried about the summer since the weather is dry already.
May 1st
The Morning start is important for sure. We had a good breakfast and a good read. Igor came and we read together, he seems to enjoy it, but as of yet not saved. God has been speaking to him for sure. It was great to have his wife join us for Leanna's birthday's supper last night.

Dan tried to make some calls on appointments because we needed to change some of them. Nothing seemed to work just right. We called and decided to visit Crippled Natalia ... We have known her since 2005, she will be 45 this year. She's been in a wheelchair for over 20 years. We went and bought medicine for her as we always do. We had a nice visit with her and her mother.
We then went to Cola's place and let him and his wife and his mother-in-law pick out clothing and boots. Dan will get him to do some little repairs on the van. We came home and had some lunch ... then Igor took me and my wife to get a few other things to finish off
the baby bags for the Mother Hospital, which we will do Thursday Lord-willing.

. I spent some time on the street giving out tracts again.
We came home and prepared for meeting tonight. Meeting was at 6 and had 26 out, nice number for the holiday and planting time. Ira came later and we did another Ukrainian lesson. We are doing this not just for the language part, but to keep good contact with her. God is able to open her heart to the truth of Salvation. Another day is over and we are both tired ....
May 2nd
Morning came early since we had to go for two hospital appointments. Dan went to Kaloush with Dema because he was having headaches and someone gave him the name of a Baptist Dr. there. It is a 40 min. drive and the appointment is at 9 o'clock. We had a 9 o'clock appointment in town to go with Lessia. Dan drove where he was going and we took a taxi. Our appointment wasn't that long and then I went on the street for an hour with tracts. Dan had to bring Dema to another hospital and didn't get back until 2 o'clock.

Igor came at 11 and we went to pay for some gas bills but the crowds were too big so we went to market and got food for his Grandmother, and got pampers for the new Born baby bags to take to the mother's hospital tomorrow.
Igor and I came back and ate some. Margie and Leanna were picking out clothing for a family of 5 near L’viv which we will deliver on Lord's Day. Leanna was with us for Lessia's appointment at 9. Igor went with me to the street again with tracts. The line for bill payment was still crowded so Dan and Dema came and got us and we went to look at a building that is for sale. We then went to see Tanya's husband again .He is actually dying, very sad but he seems to have peace that God loves him so much and all his sins are gone. He
lived a rough and sad life.
We went from there with boxes and let two families pick out some clothing. We let Tanya get some clothing for her husband since she needs to put what she takes off her husband into the garbage as he is in a terrible condition.
We came from there and went to the village to see Igor's grandmother, she is 88 and in good health. She can tell you many stories about Ukraine under Austria's occupation and then Polish occupation, then the Wars, Germans, Russians, many hair raising stories. Now back to the apartment to get the bags ready for tomorrow.
