Memoirs of Chernobyl (5) - Maria, an evacuee from Chernobyl (Part Two)

(continued story from the last entry)

Loss of home and being told to move out with no preparation and no plans. Maria tearfully recalls her painful journey she had been on for the last 20 years.


Church is our new home.
Maria shares her hope in Christ for people in Japan.

"Take good care of your health, and have patience too. It is difficult," as she painstakingly remembers.

After our brief meeting, Maria gave us a bagful of walnuts she picked from her yard as we were leaving her house, one of many identical buildings laid in rows of this relocation village in the middle of full autumn foliage.
