We had a nice number of people out at the meeting this morning. Malcolm spoke first and while he was speaking Demitri & his grand parents came in. It was so nice to see them come out. This older couple have the care of their 3 1/2 year old grand son. Tanya had been in contact with them and spoke to us about the fact that they had very little and needed help. So last fall, Flora, Malcolm, Mike & Helen Knox visited them and brought some clothing and food along. They had a word in the gospel with them at that time. So it was a real pleasure to see them come out to the meeting this morning. Maria, Flo's neighbour was also with us along with some of the Christians. Misha took the last half of the meeting.
I had been invited to my teacher's apartment for tea this afternoon. I walked there through the park close to the apartment and was amazed at the number of people that were out. Young people walking hand in hand, couples walking slowly along whispering to each other, many walking their dogs, grandparents walking with their little grandchildren. The one thing that is very noticeable is how people are bundled up, wrapped up in their heavy coats, afraid of catching a chill. I can't help but wonder how they would manage if it got cold. Saturday had been a very warm spring day, reaching +20 but still some were walking around with their coat collars pulled up against their necks, some with hats, whereas I was walking to Flo's with my coat tucked into my bag. I almost feel sorry for the little children who are dressed to withstand 0C weather.
Monday we are bringing Malcolm and Howard out to Ivano.
