June 30. A very chilly, cloudy morning. The sun shone for a little while, and I was happy to get out in the warm air and hang out clothes. The house was very cold — 57º when I got up; 53º outside. It was already down to 57º outside before I went to bed so I had put plenty of covers on to keep warm for the night. Tonka came early this morning with a couple popo. I was happy to be able to share a Bible verse with him that I had just read — Hebrews 2:9, “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Using that verse, I was able to share the Gospel with him, showing that we can only look to Jesus to save us from our sins, because it was He who died for everybody. He asked if he could have the papers I had with the Scriptures I was reading. How I would have loved to have given them to him! I promised I would print that verse out for him, and he said he would come back later today to get it. Oh, how we need to get the New Testament ready for printing as soon as possible! After washing and hanging out clothes, I washed and sliced up some kaukau (sweet potato) and potatoes to try to bake some chips. Laid the pieces in a buttered pan and smothered them with some salt and spices. They didn’t get too crispy like chips, but the kaukau tasted quite good. The potatoes had a bitter taste. Again today, there were many phones to be charged. Computer time was used again to organize the music sheets. Before dinner, I went out and brought the clothes in. Had a sound sleep again at nap time. It was hard to get up. This afternoon, I swept the floors, did the dishes, made some soft flat bread, washed the floor area in front of the sink and cupboards. I was happy for a good chat time with Daddy this evening. There was a chance he could have come home tomorrow, but it was too hard for him to finish getting everything done today. Perhaps Monday he will be able to come instead of waiting until Wednesday. July 1. Half this year already past. Hard to believe. It was another very cold night. It was already down to 57º before I went to bed last night so I figured we were in for another cold morning. 52º again and 56º in the house. (55º in the spare room). The temperature didn't even start going up outside until about 8:00. Thankful for the blue sky and sunshine that came along. Sunny came this morning and did a little yard work. The plane came after all and brought Aiqdo’s husband and some building materials which they said are for building another coffee house. They don’t want the governor’s coffee mixed with the other coffee. Javin said they did not buy more than two bags of coffee from any individual. For dinner, I cut up and cooked half of a very large pumpkin. Also made a medley of ground beef, two large onions, and the potatoes I cooked yesterday which were too bitter to eat alone. They were well-disguised in the medley and its seasonings. This afternoon, I worked on Bible lessons for the Christian school. Also cleaned the windows in the office, a job I’ve been meaning to do for a while so was thankful to finally get that done. I saw half a dozen little children walking by as I started washing windows. One of them was carrying a shovel. I asked them where they were going. They said, “We came to watch you wash the windows.” So I had a little audience while a worked, including a very small child who chattered away, but I couldn’t understand a word he was saying. Tomas came while I was eating supper and wanted some help finding Bible verses. Had a little bit more time to work on Bible lessons this evening. A special part of the evening was time spent with Daddy on the phone. Afterward I had a snack and washed up and then put more time into Bible lessons before bed.
