June 17. A mostly cool, mostly cloudy day. I’m thankful that it was warm enough this evening to enjoy a bath right after doing dishes. Didn’t need to hurry to get up this morning. No school this week. I enjoy teaching, and I love my students; but it is nice to have a change in pace. After breakfast and quiet time, Daddy and I spent a couple hours checking Hebrews. Praise the Lord for helping us complete chapter 1 and a little over half of chapter 2. Afterward I spent a little time working on music lessons for the beginning of the new school term. Then Daddy and I started out for a walk up the airstrip. We hadn’t gone far, however, when the wind started picking up, and drops of rain started falling. So we headed back to the house. The rain had stopped before we got back, and sun started shining through the cloudy haze. But it was almost dinner time so I started making tortillas and then put the fish patties and pumpkin on to warm up for dinner. When dinner was hot, I covered up the handful of tortillas I had already rolled out and the little balls that were left to roll so they wouldn’t dry out before I could get back to them. After nap, I did computer work so I could have one more chance to charge up the computer afterward and use it in the early evening before the power was on. We are only running the generator two hours a night as the fuel is almost gone. There is pretty much nothing in the fridge that needs to be kept cold. When the computer battery ran low, I went back to the kitchen, put some eggs on to boil for sandwiches, rolled out the rest of the tortillas, and got them all cooked. By then it was going on time for supper so after cleaning up the kitchen a bit, I prepared a couple of the boiled eggs for our sandwiches, and we sat down to eat. This evening, I finished a music quiz for lessons 9 through 11 and then wrote one more music lesson. So I should have enough lessons ahead in Bible and music now until Daddy gets back from town. “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him….” Psalm 37:7a Rest—be still; be silent, be quiet—in the LORD. Wait patiently. Two things that are hard to do, but that we are commanded to do. June 18. A very cool, mostly cloudy day. We both went to bed a bit early last night and were awake early this morning. After breakfast and quiet time, we got right down to business checking Hebrews. Spent two hours (with interruptions) and finished the rest of chapter two and checked chapter three. Praise the Lord for His help. After a cup of coffee and a little snack, I made corrections in Hebrews in the computer. Then I looked for a lentil soup recipe in my recipe file in the other computer and was thankful to find one. I didn’t have much for ingredients for soup, but remembered during the night that I had lentils and also some nice, fresh, red bulb onions that Kaipo had brought to us. As I was looking for another bag of lentils this morning (since I didn’t have quite enough red lentils left), my eyes fell upon the bag of mushrooms (had forgotten about those) so I could add a few of those to the soup too. Also added carrot powder and kale powder besides lemon juice and a number of seasonings. It smelled so good while it was cooking, and I hoped it would taste as good as it smelled. It did! Thank you, Lord, for a nice soup. While the soup was cooking, I washed, peeled, and cut up five kaukau and then put those on to cook. Even though I cooked the kaukau in plenty of water, it was still a bit dry and hard for us to swallow. Adding our soup to the kaukau in our bowls, however, made it not only easier to eat, but tastier too. After nap, I finished setting up the students’ copy of the second music lesson I had written. Then I proofread the music lessons and started proofreading the Bible lessons as well. While the computer was recharging, I wrote a reply to Esau’s note. And, as soon as the computer was charged, I set up a new attendance sheet for the rest of the school year and now have that ready to print out. While we were eating supper, Bonita came to fill up the washing machine and buckets. She is going to wash clothes for us after lotu tomorrow. After supper, I wrote in journal, and then Daddy and I made the shopping list for his coming trip to town. Later I made up a history test for chapter 1, since the course only offers tests after three chapters, and that is a lot of information for them to grasp at once. “A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.” Psalm 37:16 Thank you so much, LORD, for the little that we have. It seems so much to us, and is all that we need.
