Thursday November 5th Report #18
It looked very much like snow when we got up and by noon it was snowing after a time of rain. Everywhere is a real mess but we headed out, after sorting a lot of boxes for Flo to empty, to pick up the two boys Vasil and Ura and their dad Roman. They had already had their eyes tested early in the morning so we met them to go and pick out some glasses frames. We got some nice ones, suitable for young boys and left them with the prescriptions. They will be ready tomorrow, good service for bi-focals. Both pairs cost us exactly $100.00 Cdn. That’s $50.00 each pair.
We then took them out for pizza at a lovely café in the Mall. All very new but good food. It was something to watch the boys, I doubt they have ever eaten out before.
We then headed out to a home for mentally challenged boys in a village named Starry Rosdeal, (that’s how it is pronounced). In Ukrainian that means “Old chapter”. It is well named as it is “old” and the last “chapter” as far as anything modern or clean and useful. The home is an old monastery and is probably almost forgotten by most people except the “health police” who come regularly to try and find something wrong so that they can fine the administrator. They found something not long ago and fined him personally 1.000R about $140.00 to us but a month’s wages to him. You wonder why they still carry on working. We left cleaning supplies, the most needed things and pampers for the bedridden.
We headed back to town and shopped at the large Metro store for product for several poor and sick people.
Flo made a good supper for us of chicken and the trimmings.
All for now.
Thank you for praying.
Malcolm and Howard and Flo.
