My Spring Mission Trip has been placed on “hold”! I received word that Ukraine’s borders were closing for two-weeks. Until an “all-clear” announcement is given the trip is cancelled. Hopefully this is only a delay of a few weeks. I am currently back in Montgomery and all are observing the President Trump’s requests. As developments occur in our efforts we will keep you posted.
Last Tuesday I received this note from Tanya about the situation in Ukraine: “Greetings dear friends and brethren! Here are reports from February. Sorry for delay. There have been several factors to cause that. One of those was moving to a new apartment and having repairs done there. And the main thing, the talk of the whole world, is this corona virus. Things have gone crazy here since the beginning of the month. Our President in his address yesterday talked about restrictions and they are very strict. In fact, it’s the law now and those breaking it are going to be fined. You can still get things delivered to your place and the food stores should keep their routine. As for restaurants/cafes/gyms/entertainment complexes, etc. all that should be shut down. There can gather no more than 10 people in one place. He specifically addressed church ministers and asked them to take heed. So I’m not sure what we are going to do on Sun. I think we still can have Wed class since there are usually about 10 in attendance but worship is under a big question mark. I’m personally planning to stay in during this week and if Sunday worship is on I will go. I might take a walk a day but will try to stay away from people. I think I’m being driven into hysteria to some extent as well. But pray to God asking Him to protect all of us and for us to see if the virus is really so bad or if this is just a political ploy to cover up actions/events. Who knows… We have some cold spells coming next week with freezing weather so I hope it will kill the virus. You all stay healthy and don’t forget to wash and sanitize your hands after being outside. Love and hugs to you and yours, Tanya “
