Monday and Tuesday March 21 & 22nd.
We were all ready for Ruslan to pick us up at 10 am, and leave our “foster mother Flo” for 3 weeks, and move to Ivano Frankivsk. As we would not be having a meeting on Monday night, Flo elected to stay home and sort out her last shipment of boxes.
We picked some Bibles from the Canadian Bible House before getting on our way. What a trip. The roads are breaking up now the frost has lifted. Pot holes almost the entire hour and a half trip; very hard on drivers and cars.
Vadym was at the apartment to meet us. The apartment was spotless and we proceeded to unpack and then head over to have a visit and supper with Vadym, Sveta and their daughter Amelia, who now spends all day at day care/ kindergarden. Sveta has a new job selling items to pharmacies and had to leave on the 7pm train to go for training in Kiev, 11 hours on this train through the night. Seminar all day Tuesday, back on the train and arrive at 7am Wednesday.
We came home and got our beds ready and crawled in at 11:45 pm. My room was cold, as a case had been put on top of the only radiator and no heat “radiated”. My nose and arms froze, and I had a miserable night.
Tuesday.
O well, the morning came and we were up and ready by 7am. Our plan was to shop for a vehicle to be left for the work in Ivano. Most of the morning was spent going through the Ukrainian “Truck Trader” on the web. We found one in Ivano and several others in a town near-by. However it turned out that the first one we saw in Ivano is most likely the most suited so we will see what tomorrow brings.
We have to do some quick visiting as the schools are on mid-term break next week and we would like to visit some this week.
Not too much of interest to report but a big decision for us to make. Please pray that the vehicle will be trustworthy and serve us well and long.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
Malcolm and Dan.
