Many of you are writing me letters, showing concern with the current situation in Ukraine. There are quite a few things to worry about: many people are loosing their jobs, or have their salaries cut down (actually, nothing to surprise anybody in the world with), prices on imported goods have grown dramatically lately (though food and other local-made goods remained basically on the same level). Some banks are having really bad problems, the payments are not going through on time, the deposits are blocked, businesses and persons cannot get loans from banks. Due to this prices on real estate have already dropped. The 2 room apartment will sell for under k25$, comparing to k50-60$ in summer. We hope it'd be under 20,000, this will give hope to have one's own place to many young Ukrainians. So, there're pros among the cons of the situation in hand.
We pray for this situation to resolve soon, and for our government to be wise now.
I have already preached three times on how to remain peaceful and stable in the times of crisis, or any other stormy circumstances in our lives. Encouragement is very welcome these days.
With the currnet gas prices the tarrifs have grown like the mushrooms after the rain. We are trying too keep the heat as low as possible, but even then we pay around 2000 hryvnyas/mo (250$). Though I love winter more, this year I am looking forward to the warm spring :)
