We had to shop for stuff and food as we are in a new apartment with Dan. The old one is full of boxes and really needs tidying up and the boxes shipped out. We got the new apartment ready for a meeting at 7pm for mainly invited people who are wanting to know thing from the bible.
We were happy to see some unexpected people come, namely Vadym, our old drivers wife and Daughter Svetta and Amelia, both looking very nice. A young lady I had not met, Anna. Then Tania who now lives in Toronto, Dema's sister home for a holiday. Also a man Misha who looks after the meeting place we rent.
Altogether An interesting meeting with many questions to answer.
Friday was spent in in helping get things together for Tania and Sasha's wedding in the evening. Tania lost her husband with cancer and has found a nice man to marry and help raise her children. The actual legal part was done at a marriage by a legal person in the afternoon. The reception was held in a rented place, with Tania and helpers preparing the multitude of dishes of food. They both wanted messages in the gospel to be spoken for the good of their unsaved relatives. I and Dan spoke to about 25 guests.
It was all very different but was God honouring.
We were late home after group pictures and taking chairs back to the apartment. Bed was very welcome.
Saturday is the day Dan has a children's meeting at the building that Dema works in with autistic children. It has a load of equipment and the children make VERY good use of it. These children are just from the neighbourhood who just come willingly. After games, they get a Gospel message followed by questions and prizes.
Once this hour is spent, he takes them all for lunch in a restaurant. All well organised and God honouring.
Malcolm and Howard
