Heading for Leova

Yesterday was another wonderful and full day. Of course there was the worship service first.
The Belguim team came in thurs. night. Hannah, the US girl who has been staying the last year in Belguim, works at a church on a US base as the Youth director. She is from Minnisota and a very sweet and lovely girl. Then there is Emma, a young woman from England, who tries to act non-conformist, and Al Weeks, the leader who is the minister of the before mentioned church.
Anyway, Hannah and I sang a duet, "How Great Thou Art" and then during the sermon hour, Marianna and I took the children into another room and I did a felt board story for them about the "Prodigal Son" I gave them each a pencil and they each gave me a hug. O how I miss my grandchildren and their special hugs!
For those who have taken the "Esther" class with me, last night we watched the Esther story in Russian. I followed along in my bible and knew what was happening. It was an earlier version of the story and went along with the bible completely.
Earlier, before the movie, one of Igor's congregation called for us to come talk to her husband, who is a heavy drinker and wife beater. He has decided to stop drinking. Igor talked to him outside while the rest of us went in to talk to the wife. If I had never believed that God does not change and work in people's lives, I believe it now.!! I will tell you all about it when I make my presentation at Oakland when I return. That woman so humbled me--to think I have problems!
Now, we are off to a little village in a town called Leova, where we will camp and witness for a couple of days. I will write more when I return.
God bless all!!
