Report #12, Oct 21

Report 12 Tuesday 21 Oct 08

We were not expecting an early start this morning as Vadym's car was still
not repaired so he came by taxi at about noon and we went to visit the "half
way house orphanage" we have visited for years. We met with the director who
has been the one we have always met with and she shared how things were
getting so tight financially to run the home. She said that meat had gone
from 18R to 42R in just a few months. There were times when they had to pay
for the food out of their wages. We found that the greatest need was again
for running shoes. We have located a man with a shoe warehouse who will give
us a very good price on both runners and winter boots.

We are also going to buy 30 pairs of runners and 30 pairs of winter boots
for the orphanage we went to last week and take them out to them may be
tomorrow. We hope to speak to the children again when we go.

We had a good meeting again tonight with about 26 or so out, not counting
Vadym and Us. We were really pleased to have Vadym's wife Svetlana out too.
We are not sure whether she is really saved but listened very well.

We went out for pizza after meeting as the meeting starts at 5pm and so we
have not had supper.

All for now, I am about to try to get on line again as it is 11:30 pm and I
hope there will be a free line somewhere. I have been trying since 10pm.

Good night and God bless you for praying.
