A little update on Lopatin. I spoke to Gilles yesterday. As many already know he is in Lviv with Flo at this time and will return with her on June 5th. They visited the Lopatin orphanage yesterday. The children were given John 3:16 to memorize on one of the last visits there. Yesterday all the children were gathered in the auditorium. Ruslan asked some of the children if they remembered the verse and many of the kids were able to say it. The guys spoke to the kids and afterwards one of the boys asked if they could please have another verse to memorize! So Ruslan gave them John 14:6 for the next time. It is encouraging to know that the kids are enjoy learning verses. We don't know what will happen to these children as they get older but the Word of God will stay with them. It is too bad the orphanage is over an hour away from Lviv. If it was closer it would be easier to visit there as there are many older kids who would benefit from a regular contact with people who care.
I'll try to add to the blog as I learn what is going on in Ukraine. The phone lines to our apartment were changed and now don't work at all! Flo's phone cannot call out of the country for some reason so communication is becoming more difficult.
