We are back!  Here is what I have written each day while we were without internet access.  I'll post some videos latter.

Monday 27^th I am writing in word and when I can I will post this.  This is so difficult now, the wireless internet connection we bought before Victor left did not work so he gave me his.  I did not know it was limited and we quickly used it up.  We are supposed to get an unlimited connection soon, when soon is I don’t know.  Our progress is continuing but slower now there is only so much you can do, and playing go fish over and over gets old quickly.  The internet is a great help in communicating, both with Oksana and with family back home.  We tried to take walks but it is hot out, actually it is hot inside too.  It is hard waiting and not knowing when, when we may get internet, when Victor will be back, when our court date will be, will we have enough money.  Tuesday 28^th talked to Carol Saner today which was nice she was going to call Kathy and let her know we are ok just don’t know when we will get internet access.  It was good for Oksana too, she is getting board too.  This is tough, but the weather was a bit better the wind was blowing, no rain here for some time.  Praying all is well at home and they have the new well hooked up.  Wednesday 29^th Victor called to tell us our court date is Sept. 6^th, praise God.  He said we should have internet access, but we don’t.  I was so hoping to call home; it is difficult not being connected.  A few more days and we will be stay at the church and have unlimited internet, and an interpreter. It rained last night and is cool and cloudy now, we try to make some progress in language each day, but it is slow going now.  The days are long, Thursday 30^th the power went out last night came back on before dawn and off again this morning.  It is on now but I guess this is normal.  Still windy, cool and cloudy.  This has given me time to pray, read the word (Romans done on Cor. Now), and reflect.  I am looking forward to next week and seeing what the Lord has for us.  I believe it will be a full and fruitful week. This evening we received a visit from two men from the church; one lives just a four min. walk from us.  They invited us over for tea, and drove us there and back.  We had a good time; the girls were entertained by their four children.  They live in a single home, I was glad to have the opportunity to see inside, and yes just as much poverty inside as they look outside.  It was also good to hear of the testimony of the husband, I can’t pronounce his name.  He got saved when he was in jail for 6 years as a young man.  He held to the faith and when he got out joined the church, which had a ministry to the jail.  He now is involved with that ministry, going back and sharing with those in jail the Love and power of Jesus Christ.  He is now married and has four children, working as many as a laborer in the coal mine. Friday 31^st, spent the day reading and napping just passing time.  Saturday Sept. 1^st, cleaning day last day here tomorrow we will go and stay at the church.  Then I can post all this and call home and work on communicating better with Oksana.  Our new friends stopped by to ask if we would like to ride with them to church tomorrow, it will be a tight ride but it will save us taxi expense and they really want to do what they can.
