Update from Garry

  We have 8 prospective students now with 4 of them living here now or in the next week.  We had two good rains in a row and it really helped the corn and sunflowers but it is very hot now nearly 100 and we will need more rain soon.  We will start on the silage as soon as we fix the tractor, hopefully tomorrow.  We talked to the electric company (we need to get power at the barn, Victor has been actively working on the getting this done for months now) and they said that they would put us at the top of the pile to get approved but have not heard from them in two weeks so Victor will visit their office on Tuesday again.

Talked to Victor this morning and he said that the Mayors of all the towns have been told to tell everybody to keep food and water for three days in case of attacks on infrastructure.  They think that the active fighting will be over in a month as the army is making a lot of progress.  We are sure that the village is the safest place to be now.  By Kherson (he drove there on a seaside visit with friends this week) there are a lot of checkpoints and outposts at all the bridges.  Please ask for prayer for peace in the country, for opportunities to promote the school, and for our new students that they will adjust to a new life and routine.  Garry 

Teresa is in New Jersey for three more weeks after her mother's recent death, Garry remained in Ukraine and will be working on finishing the  barn and installing the used milk parlor that arrived from Canada in July so the new barn will be ready for milking cows and students this fall.
