Ivano - Thursday April 17

Well another full day of rain, a soaker for the second day. We spent much ofthe day at the Meeting Room, fixing the boards in the shelves and putting upa fluorescent light. What a job for Vadym drilling into the cement ceilingto fasten the light up. Then we could not turn off the power to the lightsso had to do it with the power on, quite tricky with poor old wiring too.Well we got it wired and on and the boards in all the shelves, but leftquite a mess???? I said it was good you were not here; I could hear yousaying “why didn’t you cover or move everything”. The truth was, we did nothave anywhere to move anything to except on the floor. So we will be havinga big clean up tomorrow. Some ladies are coming to help. We are going to getsome plastic sheeting tomorrow to cover the shelves before they put theclothing from the boxes on them. We don’t know what to expect for tomorrow’s meeting, one lady is bringingand another several with her. In view of that we have bought 12 more chairs, they will be here tomorrow. Becausethere is no room to unpack any more boxes, we have not got Halia’s boxes yetbut hope to have room by tomorrow. I really think we should be encouraging some people to come to Ivano as soonas we leave, and continue to meet with these people, we mustn’t let the workslide away again. There are many who need to be saved and many who need togrow as Christians. It seems there is great excitement now that we have our own building
