Service at Pres. Petrichko's

On Sat. the 23 of Aug. two of our daughters birthdays, we had been talking to Jan (one of them) and there was a loud bang and it was thunder. It then started to hail and then rain. Not to long after that we got a call from Pres. Pretrichko saying that he was in Lutsk and he had received a call that part of his roof had blown off, and his mother was there alone and very frightened so we called the zone leaders and we four took a taxi (about a 45 minute drive) out to check on her. She was fine by then and we called Pres. Pretrichko to let him talk to his mother because all the electricity was out and he wanted to tell her he was on his way home (3 hr drive). She was using a candle so we left our flashlight with her.
By Mon. there was a service project organized and about 23 people went to their house. He had to put some roofing on Sat. night because we had a lot of rain Sunday morning. The roof to the house blew off and hit the shed and tore it off. That's what this is, is the shed.
There were about 4 trees down going to his house and I saw national guard there but they left 3 of these so we decided it would be a good thing for the community to cut them up and get them off of the road.
They are trying to get this old stump out on his place next to the river. They finally succeeded
This house is just before Pres. Petrichko's. It lost almost the whole roof. I wish we could have helped them also. Most of the crew stayed from 9:30 a.m. to 7 or 8. We stopped on the way and bought some food and ate around 2:00 so I hope that held them o.k.
