Dan's Reports: #3

Saturday, 26 of November

Had our children’s meeting, five were out for the first time. We started with a game that was all inclusive and worked out quite well, they really enjoyed it. After the message the two girls stayed talking with Svetlana while I played with the three rowdy boys. After the meeting I drove two of the kids’ home, these two were also coming out to the summer meetings but did not know about the gym meetings. Svetlana also seemed to enjoy talking to the girls, she just may grow a heart for children (I don’t think she likes them).

Sunday had our meeting here in Ivano, went well about 12 were out. This was the first Sunday with the new time and as can be expected two more came at the old time after the meeting. I announced at the meeting we will be distributing the clothes a little different, instead of having them call one person for the clothes we will be calling them. Not sure how this will all work out with the language barrier but it is in God’s hands and will be praying for his help!

Monday we visited three villages and talked with two of the Mayors and one with the Mayor's assistant. We were able to make two appointments, one on Wednesday with the school and the other on Friday; we will speak at the Village hall. We will visit the other village next week to speak at their hall.

Tuesday went to pick up the hymn books that we had printed but found out that there was a miss print in the title and will have to wait till they call me. I also had the six tracts proof read, found errors and retuned them for printing,  I hope to have both by the end of the week? Had our meeting, about ten out and was good to see Andre out again, if it works out I’m hoping to have dinner with him some time this week.

 Wednesday we left Ivano early morning to the school in a village called Olesha. Two classes were planned one for younger kids and one for the teens but after the first class they asked us if they can add a third class to the schedule, we of course said yes! Each class had about 40 students and was 45 minutes long. All of the classes went very well and the staff were very polite and welcomed us to come again soon. Each of the kids received a Bible text, a New Testament and some treats,  2 boxes of clothes were also given to the coordinator. This extra class cause Svetlana to miss her own class at school and she said she stayed up late to finish her homework, but said it was worth missing. She is going for her masters in economics.

Please pray for the meeting on Friday at the village hall and for our local meetings and clothes distribution. And for Svetlana, that she may also receive the message she’s interpreting!!

In Christ our Lord!
