February 20. It rained and rained and rained all night and the first part of the morning. Rain leaked in through every leak in the roof and filled up the bucket under the wood stove chimney as well. I was thankful that Daddy was feeling a little better this morning though he is not very strong yet. He did get up and make a fire and eat breakfast. But he went back to bed before lotu. There was just a small group of people here this morning, people who desired to come and worship together in spite of the rain. After lotu, I spent time working on lessons for the missionary wives’ class for MTP, and Daddy and I also checked the last chapter of Titus. Then I made the corrections in the computer and set that chapter up in the print file. Also made the title page for Philemon and inserted the English text into the print file. After nap, I practiced keyboard. Glennis and Brad (pilots) dropped by to get coffee, and came down to the house to see us while they were waiting for someone to come with the key to the coffee house. They said they could take an empty diesel drum out for us so we had someone carry it up the hill. After the plane left, strong winds came up again, and the air went from cold to colder. Here I sit this evening with a sweatshirt and a jacket on, trying to keep warm. The wood stove is going too, but it doesn’t seem to be producing much heat. I am thankful for the Lord’s help in completing the missionary wife lessons this evening, except for adding a few more Bible verses. “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” John 20:31 Thank you, Lord, for giving us Thy written word so that we might believe and have life through Thy name. February 21. Rain, rain, and more rain, most of the night and off and on throughout the day. Anna Jean was the only one on time for school this morning. The two men came about 8:10. Can’t really blame them for not wanting to get out early in this chilly, damp weather. While Anna Jean and we were waiting for the others to come, the Lord blessed us with a big beautiful rainbow all across the western mountains and sky. Went out on the front porch to take some pictures. Couldn’t see the whole rainbow from there because of a tree blocking part of it. What a lovely sign of promise the Lord chose to give Noah! And us! We finished our Bible lesson this morning so will start a new one tomorrow and hopefully will finish it by Tuesday. That will be our last day of school next week. On Thursday, we will need to wash clothes and start packing for town. After school, the students cut up sheets of memory verse cards and game tokens for Sunday school and memory verse cards for the ladies’ meeting. When they were done, they had punkas (a type of bananas) to eat. Then the girls went home, and the two men cut some firewood. With these cold, rainy days, the wood stove has been eating up a lot of firewood. While they were cutting firewood, I made tortillas; and while the tortillas were cooking, I made tuna patties for dinner to go with the leftover uxai and a few bits of leftover potatoes. A little before 1:30, the tortillas were finally done cooking, and we got ready for nap. After nap, I practiced keyboard and then got the students’ copies of the Bible quiz and the next lesson ready to print. Then I went for a little stretch outside to soak in some sunshine while it was there. This evening, I printed the quizzes and new lessons and started working on future lessons. Then I had a snack and took a bath. Lewis is meeting with the men again this evening. “….Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?...” John 21:17 Perhaps this could be made personal and read “Judy, daughter of Howard, lovest thou Me?” A very heart-searching questions. Oh, that I may learn to love Him more and more!
