March 23. This morning, I finished reformatting the teacher’s Kristen Famili notes. Daddy and I also went for a fairly long walk up the airstrip. We’re thankful for Bonita’s work in cutting a trail through the grass to get to the middle of the airstrip where the grass is thin and low. Stopped and talked with Kaipo and Sonkenda a bit, and later with Sakias who was just on his way home from lotu. This afternoon and evening, I continued work on the third Bible primer in English. The Lord also sent us a torrential rain, the first hard rain we’ve had since we came back from town. The bad thing was that the roof leaked right over the light in the entry way. We had to keep the light off in there the rest of the evening, which meant the light was off in the classroom so we had Anna Jean come and sit in the office for the rest of classes. We found out late this afternoon, that Matthew Awane was bitten by a poisonous snake down at the river. Early in the evening, we heard wailing down in the village where he lives and assume he has died, but we haven’t heard officially. The wailing has stopped for now. I’m sure we will find out more tomorrow. “Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” (Psalm 62:8) March 24. Judy came somewhat early to practice computer. I don’t really have much more I can teach her, but we looked at a lot of things together to see what she might want to learn. After she left, I finished my prayer time and Bible study. In between there, Daddy and I went outside for a little fresh air. Sunny was out there weeding under the house and woodshed and around the flowers. It wasn’t long after that before I needed to fix dinner. Prepared spaghetti and meat sauce today. Had cooked greens a couple days ago so was thankful to have a veggie all ready to warm up and eat. After nap, I studied the culture lesson to teach today and also the outreach lesson which I had volunteered to teach. Matthew A did die yesterday. He thought he got bit by a snake, but the health workers couldn’t find any marks. He was in his coffee garden and came straight to the health center. He didn’t say anything to anyone along the way; but they said he died within five minutes after arriving at the health center.
