December 28. What a busy morning! Had several things to do before we left the apartment, and we had to be ready to leave early so Daddy could drop me off at the girls’ house and then go get the van inspected. He was supposed to be there before 9:00, and it was already going on 8:30 before we left our place. Once we got to C&C’s house and got the car unloaded, I put food away in the fridge and then put a load of clothes in to wash. While they were washing, I made a smoothie to drink and then set up my computer. The wash was soon done, and I put a few things into the dryer and a few things into the clothes basket so they could be hung around the house. About that time, Daddy arrived back from getting the car inspected, and he started hanging up clothes to dry while I put the second load of clothes into the dryer. Then I hung up a few clothes also. Daddy and Christy got ready to go out to look at computers and see about adding overseas calling to Christy’s phone. Then I took the first load of clothes out of the dryer, except for my slippers which weren’t quite dry; and when the second load of clothes was done washing, I put some of those into the dryer and hung the rest around the house to dry. A little after 11:00, I went to the kitchen to start preparing veggies for stew for Daddy’s dinner. Then I put the meat on to brown, and by the time I added the veggies, it was already 11:45; and Daddy and Christy had arrived home. Daddy had to go out again this afternoon to meet David B at the bank and take care of getting the van transferred to his name. Praise the Lord, they were able to get title and registration with new plates and insurance all put in David’s name. We are also thankful that David is allowing us to continue using the car until we leave. I went ahead and had nap by myself. After nap, I worked on the music file for Aleluya 1. This evening, I finished crocheting the cowl I had started on Wednesday. It took a lot of yarn, but it is so soft and ruffly and pretty. After several attempts, Daddy was able to get in touch with someone in Owena, and talked a bit with Matthew. He hasn’t been able to get contact with anyone there for a couple weeks. Following a time of Bible reading and prayer, we loaded up the car and came home. We were saddened this morning by the news of Barry N’s passing away, but thankful that he is no longer suffering. We weep with his family who are grieving at this time. “….This is my beloved Son: hear him.” Mark 9:7 How important it is that we hear the words of God and the words of God’s Son who speaks the words of His Father! We must be sure that the words we hear men speak are the words of God. Search the Scriptures to see if what you hear is so. December 29. Slept in until after 6:30 this morning. Was awake for a while during the night. The Lord gave us a nice warm winter day. After breakfast and quiet time, Daddy and I checked the last chapter of I Timothy. Praise the Lord for His help in completing that. Now the books have been packed away until we get to PNG. Have been trying to pack as much as I can today, and spent the rest of the morning working on that. After nap, I went through some small items and some papers, threw away things I won’t need, packed a number of things, and left out a few things that I’ll need until Wednesday or Thursday. Later in the afternoon, Daddy and I enjoyed a nice walk together on this spring-like day. It felt so good to get out. Then we turned down the heat and opened the door for a while to get fresh air into the apartment. Ahhh, how we delighted in that! Before supper, I washed the dishes so I would have a clean bowl for supper, and also so I wouldn’t be rushed after supper. Then I strained and refreshed the kefir. After that, I cooked a small pot of oatmeal which I enjoyed with bananas, blueberries, and almond milk . Also cooked the two sweet potatoes that we had so they will be ready for my breakfast. Daddy, in the mean time, was out in the car where he could get good reception and talk with Amos. This evening, we went over to C&C’s house and played a game of Bible Baffle. “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23 “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27
