Malcolm report #5
Today was not so foggy
but damp and dull, not nice at all.
Today was our day to go
to the Baby Orphanage #1 in Lviv. We have visited this orphanage
since first coming here with Flo. Edmund and Agnes keep up the visits
now monthly. The place seems in better condition than when we visited
years ago. We were well received and soon were ushered into a room
where about 25-30 staff gathered. Howard gave word and I finished.
The main doctor recognized me and came over to me. He has been their
18 years. We then went to feed the 2 to 3 year old's their snack of a
piece of bread and butter with red caviar on it. They love it and
lick the caviar off first. Red caviar is cheap and very healthy.
We grabbed a meal at
McDonald's and then headed to the airport to see Eric, Marge, Mary
and Bonnie of to Toronto. They were in a tizzy when we arrived. The
airlines have lowered the weight of the checked bags, and they were
all overweight. They managed to get them all down but then their
carry-on's were too heavy, so the same process. We saw them off then,
but just as we were leaving, Volodia gets a call that he is needed at
customs upstairs. He is gone about 10 minutes and comes back through
the line again with Eric. He then got away. The problem was a jar of
honey he had got from a farm and it was not bought in a store or
something. Anyway, Volodia convinced them to let him take it. We hope
he doesn't lose it in Toronto customs!
Supper again at Agnes's
and then to meeting. I spoke tonight and gave my testimony. Please
pray for this assembly as too many men have jobs that keep them from
week-night meetings. Some do not get out at all in the week.
Had a good day today, a
late start as we didn't need to be at the village until after 1pm but
a wonderful group of young kid all willing to say their verses and
sing. I spoke and then we went to the man who organizes the meetings,
the one who worked with the gypsies. They have six children but she
puts an amazing meal on.
Home and quite tired,
at about 6pm. 30 boxes arriving but not ours but boxes and boxes of
pampers from Salem Oregon. We were too tired to go up to the Pizza or
over to E /A's for a snack, so I spent the evening getting ready to
speak after the b of b tomorrow. Trust all is well. Heading away with
Volodia tomorrow so should be on line tomorrow.
God bless you all and
please keep praying as we move back to Ivano Frankivsk.
Malcolm and Howard
