From Ternopil, Ukraine

Sunday, December 9th, 2007
Welcome from cold and friendly, yet not-cold-enough-to-freeze-the-mud, Ukraine. It’s foggy, already dark, and I’ve just finished a day in fellowship with 40 Christians from Ternopil. I got to preach twice this morning. After about 45 minutes, we stopped for tea and open-faced sandwiches, then they asked me to preach some more. Okay, it’s true that not everybody stayed for the overdose, but a good group did, and I thoroughly enjoyed our time together. I just finished borsht (sp.) and cucumbers and tomatoes and frozen strawberries with melted ice-cream (not mixed together). All was good. I forgot how late people eat lunch here (at either 2 or 3 pm) and how little they eat at night. Of course, I am on my own at night, and can eat as little, or as much, as I like. I have little internet time, but just enough to stay in contact with family (and you). What a blessing! I will catch up on YOUR blogs later. In the meantime, please keep me, and your family in Christ here, in your prayers, as well as the family in Lausanne.
