Tuesday Oct 31
Our Interpreter came and we had our reading time
together .
We then went a picked up Tanya and her two girls to take them
to Graveyard, as it's three years today that their father died. Tanya had two
ladies with her as it was the first time the girls went to see the grave of
their dad. One lady had two of her children as well.
I prayed with them all and explained that it is
important to be saved and ready to die as it can't be changed after you die.
It was windy and very cold. They put flowers on the grave. We took them home
and after lunch we picked up the two ladies and let them pick up groceries.
Heather and
Margie went through boxes to get things for the baby bags. We did find two
boxes of bags already done to give out,so put a text, New Testament and
children story book in each one. We went to the city Hospital and gave white
sheets to them. We had 6 boxes of sheets come in the 19 boxes that came
yesterday. They came just in time for sure. The nurse almost cried as
they have been cutting up pillow cases and sowing them to make sheets. We will
bring them more next week. We also left them pain killers and gravol to
help some sleep.
Then we meet Rulsan and Doug and Debbie Yade for
supper and went to meeting. I spoke with Doug and Dan opened the meeting.
We had 31 in and this was a nice crowd but there was some of the regulars
missing. We went for tea to Marie's after the meeting.It would be nice to
see her in the meeting. She would be if there was a breaking of bread here in
the city.
A long day and it was nice to get home to go
to sleep.
Nov. 1 Wednesday
Igor came and we had reading and prayer time again. This is great for Igor and
for all of us. We took clothing to the cleaners to get washed. They
wash and dry it for you at a very small price and this will save much time for
us here. We do have a washer but no dryer and with winds out side hard to
dry in side.
We finished
off the bags and went to the hospital to give to new mothers. We met 31 mothers with
new babies, the most we ever did at one visit. The most of the mothers were
from the city of Ivano Frankivsk, two were from villages outside. We had a nice
visit with them and with the head nurse. We gave bags with bible verses
on them to most of the nurses and workers there. The nurses reminded us that
the desks we bought and put together were working good for them. We also
gave them sheets for the beds. They needed them but not like the city main
hospital.
We then took
another lady who has three children to pick up her groceries . We do this to allow
them to enjoy picking it up, they don't get that joy very many times. We went tto
her house and had tea with her husband and mom and brother .
value much prayer
Eric and Margie and Heather Anderson
