OK HERE IS THE SCOOP

[pennies]

SHANE DUKE & HIS WIFE MARILYN ARE THE MISSIONARIES FROM COLUMBIA LA.
THEY HAVE THEIR DAUGHTER (MARY-15yrs)& SON (CALAB-12yrs)WITH THEM IN THE VILLAGE OF NOVOPAVLOVKA NEAR THE TOWN LUGANSK IN THE UKRAINE.
THEY ARE A PART OF "THE CROSSOVER MINISTRIES".SHANE GAVE A TALK AT OUR CHURCH ABOUT THE PEOPLE OVER THERE. THEY GROW MOST OF WHAT THEY EAT. COAL IS FOR HEATING & BOTTLE GAS IS FOR COOKING.THEY HAVE NO INSIDE PLUMING,THE WATER IS IN A WELL OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.THEY HAVE LEGAL AND ILLEGAL COAL MINES.THE ILEGAL ONES START OUT AS JUST A HOLE IN THE GROUND.(HIDDEN OF COURSE)IT IS COLD WET WORK AND THE OLD DIE OF BLACK LUNG OR ALCOHOLISM AS VODKA IS THE DRINK OF CHOICE.
THE CHILDREN ARE LEARNING THE LANGUAGE FASTER THAN SHANE.THEY HAD A FELLOW HIRED TO HELP WIRE THE HOUSE FOR ELECTRICITY AND HE WAS TALKING TO SHANE ABOUT THE JOB,CALAB PULLED HIM ASIDE AND TOLD HIM THE GUY WAS CUSSING HIM.MAN WHAT A TIME SHANE IS HAVING..MORE LATER!!
I BOUGHT A LITTLE TODAY,I WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF IT AND TOMORROW I WILL GET A PICTURE AT THE CHURCH ALSO. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. HENRY

and you are doing a good thing! Have you talked to the places you are buying the stuff from about what you are doing? Sometimes they will give you a discount, allowing you to buy more!
