Evendays

Mom is doing well, at home where Dad and Sister One were taking care of her after surgery. Here’s a morbid thought: Before appendectamies, people died of appendicitis. Makes you thankful…

Today went pretty well, about a 8.2. I started searching for Ukrainian documents that will be useful for the church in Ternopil. The problem is I don’t read Ukrainian (though the Cyrillic alphabet is not a mystery any more). If the word has the same stem as the English word (or French), I can often figure it out. My search took me through 12 large boxes of Father-in-law’s correspondence. Quite an adventure. I found some documents, but pretty sure they’re not the right ones.

Then I studied the Bible with S. and A. They have many challenges in life, but A. told me the studies were doing them much good and they loved learning about God’s will in his world.

After some more searching in the afternoon, Wife and I visited with our elderly neighbor who comes to church. We had a good talk. It is tough when your health takes a dive, the husband’s in a Home, and life’s not finishing how you’d like. But she displayed so much trust in us while sharing with Wife and me. And at 85, her faith is still growing.
