Description
Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.
It was famine and we did not have much clothes. War and post-war time was hard. There were 4 kids in our family. I remember our mother taught us, the kids, to be thankful for everything and we did so.
Where did you work? Was your work good? Were you happy with your job?
I worked at construction spots first. Later I received further training in book-keeping. Then I graduated from the Architect University and got a job at the Project Institute where I worked before I retired.
Tell about your present life.
I am not well now. My left eye was operated. Then I had to take some medicines – their side effect made me faint when I was outside. I hurt my face really bad. I was hospitalized and now are getting better.
Have you accepted Christ? How long have you been following the Lord?
I have been living with the Lord since my childhood. My mother taught me to be thankful and to keep God in my heart always.
Tell about one thing your sponsor needs to know about you.
It is hard to say. But we truly believe that God is with us and He will bring us through this war.
