Last week we closed up the cottage and headed back to the farm before the snow started. After a busy autumn helping with the corn harvest (still a good amount to combine here in Manitoba) and some fishing, basketball, and my doctor's appointment (not bad news there) Garry is ready to head out. You may have guessed that this photo is Garry with six of our boys at their basketball game in October.
His bags are packed and he flies out of Winnipeg Saturday evening. I'm praying all goes well, since his plane lands in Toronto about an hour before his flight to Poland. He'll arrive in Krakow late Sunday afternoon their time. Early the next morning he'll be on the train heading to Ukraine with Cezary, the pastor we met in Novagard last year. Cezary plans to visit and encourage the free churches there. He met pastors Andrey and Yuri at a conference in Europe in August.
Garry will be heading to the farm for two weeks, where he'll be busy preg checking cows, encouraging the staff and students, and visiting our friend Lena's English school. He'll hand out the gifts I packed for the little kids, the new baby who's due while Garry's there and thermal socks for all the students.
He is also going to teach a lady in a nearby town to breed cows the North American way. She was taught the Soviet style, but little frozen balls of semen are hard to find these days. They actually do it it very differently. Max is hoping she will be able to breed other people's cows like Garry did, as he doesn't have time to do it.
