Good morning, all! it has been a little while since I updated. We did hear from Dad and Mom Thursday night. They are doing OK. God is taking care of them. They are working with a missions agency over there in Papua New Guinea to help them be able to get their packages and some supplies flown in to them in the village of Owena. This is very complicated right now because of the current situation. The agencies that do the flying have to get permission from the government for each flight and give a good reason for making the flight. Mom and Dad's supplies and fuel are very low. Please pray that the supplies can get to them soon. Also, pray that they will be able to get fuel. If they cannot get fuel, they won't have a source of power, so our communication with them may get cut off for a period of time. But communication with God is never cut off. Thank you for helping us pray for them. God bless! The YouTube video below shows a landing and take-off at the Owena airstrip in Papua New Guinea. There are some pictures of the people as well.

January 31. It was wash day again, the last day I’ll get to wash and hang out the clothes myself for a while. Once school starts, I won’t have as much time so will put that work into the hands of my two female students. Praise the Lord for the opportunity to soak up some sunshine vitamin D and just enjoy being outside. Afterward, I got out clean bedding and made the bed up. Since Daniel wasn’t here yet, Daddy and I started measuring and cutting plywood for the cupboard. It wasn’t long before Daniel came, and the three of us worked together until noon. Then Daddy and I had our lunch. Daniel kept on working. After lunch, I went out and got the clothes down, and Daddy went back to helping Daniel. Then I had a nap while the two of them continued working. When I got up, we took the cupboard into the kitchen to mark where to put screws or nails for hanging it up. Then it went back to the meetings room for Daddy and Daniel to drill holes and get the nails/screws started. Then Daniel made the middle shelf and cut a piece of wood for the top. It was 3:00 by then, and we thought he would be tired and want to stop for today, but he wanted to go ahead and paint. We almost forgot about ladies’ meeting until we heard the bell so after Daniel sanded the unit, We put everything away and brought the benches and shelf unit into the schoolroom. Laid large flattened cardboard boxes underneath and put the old table cover on the benches, and he did the painting in there. It was after 6:00 before he finally finished painting. But he seems to like to paint. This afternoon. I put a coat of clear varnish on my most recent painting. Also printed out some verses for Mata for ladies’ meeting and then remembered that I had already printed them and given them to Bonita to take home and cut up. Put rice on to cook for my supper, and did just a little bit of work in Studies in Revelation until the rice was done and I needed to warm up Daddy’s supper. After supper, I did dishes right away and then put bath water on so I could have bath right away as we were expecting the three men to come and continue going through the translation of Matthew. “1In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. 2Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. 3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:” Isaiah 26:1-4 February 1. Prayer lotu this morning with Amos as overseer. After lotu, Sunny came and worked for a while — shelling peanuts, sweeping floors, and organizing plastic bags. Daniel was here putting a second coat of paint on the cupboard. I put a second coat of varnish on my painting; and by afternoon, it was ready to hang up with the lambs and other pictures. Also started curing the chalkboard in the meeting room. Had to wait until afternoon to do the one in the schoolroom as Daniel was busy painting in the schoolroom. Then I worked until lunch time making up a test for chapters 5 and 6 of the Revelation studies. Slept quite a long nap today so didn’t have time to do a whole lot this afternoon. Washed my hair first of all. Then hung up the picture noted above. Finished curing the meeting room chalkboard by erasing and washing it. Cured the schoolroom chalkboard too, but didn’t finish it until after supper. Had a little time to work more on the test for the Revelation lessons and also spent more time on that this evening. February 2. People were quite late for lotu today, and it was after 10:30 before the meeting was started. Daddy preached both meetings, completing the teaching on music. Then he opened things up for questions for a while. This afternoon, I made sure everything is ready for school to start tomorrow. Also spent some time revising the test I was working on recently and making it into two separate tests — one for chapter 5 and one for chapter 6. I was afraid that otherwise it would be rather overwhelming.
January 29. What a busy day it has been! Had leftover pancakes for breakfast this morning and had plenty of time for quiet time, too, before lotu started this morning. Also got our “bed” (mattresses, blankets, etc.) moved back into the bedroom and onto the bed frame. It was so hard getting up off the floor so we are thankful that the paint smell has died down and we can sleep in our own bedroom again. The rat smell didn’t die down though. After lotu (Matthew had charge today and preached more from Ephesians chapter 1), a number of men came and tried to help us find where the dead rat is. It wasn’t hard to figure out where it is, however, when flies started coming and going from a small hole that goes into the wall behind the kitchen cupboard. The hole is big enough for flies and other little creatures but not big enough for rats. The only way the rat could have gotten there was from the top down in between the inside and outside layers of wall. No way to get it out so will have to put up with the stink for not too many days, I hope. Then several of the young men worked together cutting firewood; and while they were doing that, Daniel made a new firewood box. It was all ready by the time the firewood was ready to be loaded into it. It looks so nice in place of that crumbled up, torn up, eaten up cardboard box that had been our firewood box for years. (Well, it didn’t actually look like that for years, but it had become that way after so long a time.) While everyone else was busy, I repainted the two chalkboards — one in the schoolroom and one in the meeting room. Then I spent time “making” boxes (actually cutting down small cartons) and organizing my painting supplies on the shelf I had painted last evening. Daddy was back and forth between translating, helping Daniel, and answering the door. The door was opened and closed a lot today as people came and went for one reason or another. After everyone left, I warmed up dinner and we ate and then had our nap. Even during nap time, people knocked on the door, but neither of us got up — we were too tired. I was more tired than I thought as I slept about an hour and a half. After nap, I cut up a popo and washed a couple fresh bananas, and Daddy and I enjoyed a fruit snack. Then we checked the final chapter of Revelation. Praise the Lord for His help in completing that book. After that, I went to the kitchen and washed up a bunch of kavia (greens) and some onions. Set those aside to cut up and cook this evening after the dishes were washed and the pressure cooker was clean. Then I cut up a tomato to go on sandwiches, and we two sat down to eat. Shortly after we sat down to eat, Asenat came to talk with me so we asked her to wait. Then someone came for joint pain medicine, and Daddy asked him to wait. Then Tomas came to talk with Daddy, and he had to wait. As soon as I was done eating, I took the garbage out and then went and called Asenat. She shared about her getting saved and baptized on Sunday. Then she asked for advice regarding knowing God’s will for marriage. After Asenat left, I put dishwater on to heat, finished cleaning up the kitchen, and then did dishes. Then we put bath water on to heat while I dried the pressure cooker and cut up the greens and onions into it. It was also youth meeting night and Amos was here teaching the young people. By the time I got the greens all ready, the bath water was ready so I had my bath before cooking the greens. While the greens were cooking, I got a snack and wrote a quick e-mail to C&C with journal notes to send them. Then I came to write in my journal. “O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.” Isaiah 25:1 January 30. Not so busy a day today. The Lord gave us a nice sunny morning and a rainy afternoon. I got the rest of my painting supplies organized this morning and then put out all my sheep and lambs and my two teddy bears. Then I completed the dictionary in the back of the Revelation booklet, added chapter numbers at the tops of the text pages, and made sure all the verses were properly lined up. Now, I think, it is ready for printing copies for ourselves and for the school students. Daniel came late morning to say that he will be going to town next week, but can try to make the cupboard for us this week before he goes. So he started on that just before noon and got the frame all put together in about five hours. He needed wood for the frame though; and Daddy had wood that was given to him, but it needed to be cut in narrower pieces to be usable for that purpose. So he called out to Matthew to see if he could bring his circular saw and cut the wood for us. Matthew came, and they plugged up the saw to the old generator, making quite a few pieces of wood that could be used, not only for the cupboard frame, but for other projects later. When they were doing that, I made another math review lesson for this coming week and then went and lay down for a nap. This afternoon, I got out the black chalkboard paint again and touched up a few spots I had missed yesterday on the meeting room chalkboard. Then I got out my box of framed and painted pictures and started hanging them up in the bedroom. Daddy helped by drilling a few holes for the screws. This evening, I found some maps in the Bible Collection Suite in the ACER, and copied them into Pictures, and then transferred them to the HP to use in the Studies in Revelation. “He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 25:8
January 27. Slept in until 6:30 this a.m. Then got up and fixed Daddy’s pancakes, had my pre-breakfast drinks and quiet time, fixed and ate my breakfast. Then Daniel came (about 8:00) to start putting the enamel coat on our bedroom walls. He and Daddy got the paint ready, and Daddy helped me put plywood on the schoolroom floor to put our mattresses on. I then got the bed made up. (We will sleep in there for a couple nights until the strong paint smell dies down.) Then I spent a little more time praying before Daddy and I checked Revelation 19. After that, there was kitchen work to do—wash and peel kaukau and yams and put them in the pressure cooker to cook for Daniel’s and my dinner. Prepare uxai and the rest of the carrots and put them in the large, stainless steel skillet to cook for the three of us. Cook spaghetti and make a meat sauce for it for Daddy’s dinner. Everything was ready a little after 12:00, and by then, Daniel had finished up trimming around the edges of the bedroom walls and filling in the cracks (most of them). So we all sat down to relax and eat together. Then there was kitchen cleanup to do, and Daniel went back to work, ready now to use the roller and paint the big spaces of the walls. That went much faster than the trim, and in a couple hours he had finished the job. After I cleaned up the kitchen, I made the corrections for Revelation 19 and transferred some photos to the computer. Then I lay down for a nap. When I got up from nap, Daniel had just finished the painting job and was ready to clean up. While he was cleaning up, I found a couple winter photos to choose from for painting the top of my painting desk, and also started writing in my journal. After Daniel left, Daddy and I had a fruit snack. Before supper, I erased and washed the chalkboard in the meeting room, in hopes of repainting both that one and the schoolroom chalkboard tomorrow. There were lots of dishes to wash this evening so that took a good while. Then I wrote a short e-mail to C&C and sent a list for the updates for e-mailing. January 28. First thing I noticed when I went to the kitchen this morning and opened the cupboard doors was a horrible smell. Oooooh, what is that smell? Oh, no! A dead rat! Did the rat die under the cupboard somehow? But how did he get under there? Or maybe he is under the house under the cupboard. How long is this smell going to stay around? Praise the Lord for giving us such a nice warm, sunny day for doing laundry. When laundry was done and hanging out in the sun, Daddy changed the oil in the generator, and I did just a little touch-up painting on the bedroom wall. Then I put undercoat on my painting desk and on the shelf to go above the desk to hold my paints and other supplies, and touched up the bottom of the kitchen cupboard doors as they were so stained and ugly-looking. After that, Daddy and I checked Revelation 20 and 21. We praise the Lord for His help in completing those two chapters. Then it was dinner time. Warmed up and ate dinner, and then got the clothes in before having a nap. After nap, Daddy helped me put the frame back up around the *pitpit section of the east wall of our bedroom, and then put up the shelf over my painting desk. When that was done, we enjoyed a nice fruit snack. Then I wrote in my journal and made corrections in the Revelation file. *Pitpit -- a reed, somewhat similar to bamboo, but smaller After supper, I did the dishes and then painted the shelf, the one Daddy had helped me put up this afternoon, with shades of blue. Then I made a new journal book as my current one is almost full, and I also got a picture ready to print and copy to paint on top of my painting desk. After that, I got a couple weeks’ worth of journal notes ready to send to Connie. January 26. The day began with making pancakes. Then breakfast and quiet time. There was about an hour left before lotu to work on the monthly update. January is quickly passing away, and the update has still not gone out. Amos preached this morning on Galatians 4:4 with many references to the Old Testament. After the preaching, Matthew brought out some points regarding the meaning of baptism and becoming part of the local church. Then the four baptismal candidates — Jonas, Avu, Gideon, and Sosthenes – each gave their testimony. Five church ladies had prepared food so everyone went outside and ate together while they were waiting for the bell from down below. Liberty would be baptizing eight people, and the two churches would be holding their baptism together at Owendaveq. This afternoon, I wrote a math review lesson for the first day of school. Then I got the updates for mailing all set up, and this evening after supper, I wrote the acknowledgments for them. Wrote a short e-mail to C&C with an attachment of those updates. This evening, I printed out quite a bit of material for the beginning of school.
January 24. Woke up to fog, followed by a light rain. However, the Lord sent us sunshine after a while, and it turned out to be a lovely day for hanging out clothes. So laundry was the first order of business for the day. While I was hanging clothes, Daniel came with some poles and got busy making a ladder. After I went inside, Mata came to talk about the ladies’ meeting lessons. Then I printed out some different verses for her to go with the lesson she had already prepared. Then I got out my gloss acrylic white paint and touched up a few spots in the schoolroom that didn’t get covered well yesterday. When Daniel finished making the ladder he came inside and started painting the undercoat where Daddy left off the other day. I found some small pieces of wood for making a couple bookends for the schoolroom. Lewis trimmed off the ends of the two flat thin pieces, but the two main pieces were just right already. I got all the pieces sanded down, and Daddy nailed a flat piece to the bottom edge of each one. Warmed up dinner and the three of us sat down to eat together. Then I went out and got the clothes in while Daddy helped Daniel to get back to painting, now with the roller. Daniel had finished around the edges before we had dinner. I put some undercoat on the bookends and left them to dry. Now I needed to put my feet up because I couldn’t take a nap yet with Daniel working in the bedroom. So I got out a chair and a pillow for my legs and sat on the rocker with my feet up and the computer on my lap. First Daddy and I talked over the town schedule for the first half of 2020 so I could schedule a two-week holiday in the middle of the school year to go to town with him. Then I did a little work on the next ladies’ meeting lesson and then wrote some in journal. After Daniel finished the south wall, we decided that was enough for today as I was getting pretty tired. It was already 3:00. So he and Daddy got busy cleaning up things, and I went ahead and lay down for nap. A few minutes after I lay down, we could hear a thunder storm brewing, and soon the rain was pounding fiercely on the roof. So Daniel stayed until the rain slowed down, I guess, and then Daddy gave him a piece of plastic to cover himself so he could go home. It was 4:00 when I got up. Started rearranging the school schedule in the computer. It was soon time to get supper on the table. Then there were dishes to do. After that, I painted the bookends with swirls of yellow, red, blue, and green. Then I started proofreading the 20/20 lessons to teach in Bible class the first week of school. Now that part is all ready to print. Amos, Matthew, and Nuanda are here this evening working with Daddy on checking the translation of Matthew. January 25. Daddy said we had a lot of rain during the night, but I never heard it at all. I could tell by looking out the window this morning, however, that he was right. We praise the Lord for a nice, sunny, dry day. We are praying that it will stay nice overnight and tomorrow for the baptismal service. The two churches are planning to hold their baptismal services in the same place at the same time. It was after 7:30 before prayer lotu started this morning, and it started with only a handful of people. But there were many, many prayer requests, taking up about an hour of time, and quite a few people had come in before the actual prayer time. Then they stayed around and spent quite a bit of time talking afterward. Daniel stayed and finished putting the undercoat paint on the other bedroom wall today. We asked Bonita to come and do a little work too — prepare greens, sweep the floors, and sort out plastic bags. It was after 12:30 when Daniel left and we had our dinner. And it was 2:00 before we finally got settled down for nap. While Bonita was working this morning, I finished putting together the bookends for the schoolroom, organized my school lesson notebooks, started getting things together that the students will need, and setting up the bookshelf and other shelves in the schoolroom. Didn’t wake up from nap until 3:30. Then I cut up a popo for our snack, washed my hair, and gathered the trash together and took it out and burned it. Made a couple changes in lesson plans for the first day of school and then got supper on the table. After supper, I did the dishes, took a bath, wrote a note to Pastor Ogle with December progress report attached, worked on a music lesson for the first day of school. Later Mike came to get his things from town.
January 22. The Lord gave us a mostly rainy day today so we did not get to go out for a walk. The day stayed cool too. Daddy kept the wood stove going a little longer than usual until our bodies warmed up more. This morning there was lotu. Matthew preached from Ephesians 1:12-14 on the Holy Spirit of promise. There weren’t very many present. A lot of people are down at the river harvesting peanuts. While we were in lotu, the filters for the Aqua Rain were on the wood stove to boil again. After lotu, I washed thoroughly in hot soapy water both parts of the Aqua Rain, and rinsed them well too. Once the filters had boiled, I drained the water off and set the filters aside to cool. Then Daddy put them back in the Aqua Rain and filled the Aqua Rain with water. It seems to be working well, and the water tastes okay so we pray that it will do well and give us good clean-tasting water. (When I got done washing the Aqua Rain, I washed up the other dishes that were at the sink too. So then I didn’t have quite so many to do this evening, but the dish drainer was still full.) After taking the filters off the wood stove, I set a pan of eggs on to boil so I could make egg salad for our supper sandwiches. When all that was done, it was time to sit down a while so Daddy and I worked on checking Revelation. Praise the Lord for His help in completing two chapters—16 and 17. Back to the kitchen again, this time to sort and wash greens and cut them up into the pressure cooker with some onion. Had also husked uxai and added it to the pot. That was our dinner veggie to go with the leftover kaukau and meat sauce. While the veggies were cooking, I made the corrections in Revelation; and when the veggies were done, I warmed up the leftovers. Then we had dinner, and afterward a nap, of course. Slept a couple hours, not that I necessarily needed that long a nap, but I needed extra time with my feet up as they are still quite swollen and painful since we went to town. After nap, I had a little snack and then put undercoat on the plywood section of wall in the schoolroom and also on the bookshelves. That took quite a while; and by the time I was done and had cleaned out the paint brush, it was time to get supper on the table. Peeled the eggs and then sat down to mash and season them and mix them with mayonnaise. Daddy helped by getting everything else on the table. “3Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,...” 2 Corinthians 6:3-4 January 23. Another day has nearly passed. This morning, I made a half gallon of a mixture of herbal teas for special healing needs. Then Daddy and I checked Revelation chapter 18, and afterward went for a short walk. The rest of the morning, I spent putting the gloss coat of paint on the schoolroom walls, and Daddy started bordering the bedroom walls with undercoat, getting it ready for filling in with the roller. When I finished, it was a little past noon. There was nothing left for dinner so we had lunch. Daddy helped by cleaning out the paint brush while I cut up a tomato and set the table. After lunch, we lay down for nap; but in a few minutes, Daddy heard the roar of a plane making a circuit above the village and knew they would be landing here. So Daddy went up to the airstrip while I finished my nap. It was SIL with medical supplies. He was on the ground quite a long time because he had to wait for a health worker to come up and fill in forms for having received the supplies. He didn’t seem to be in any hurry though and enjoyed talking with Daddy and other people while he was waiting. When I got up, I finished writing the progress report that I had started yesterday; and then Daddy proofread it; and then I proofread it, and finally I put it in the Word file and put it on a flash drive to send later. Then Daddy lay down for the nap he didn’t get earlier. Daniel came to the door while he was sleeping. He wanted some salt and soap and also wanted to know if we had any work for him to do. I told him that Daddy was wanting someone to help paint the bedroom. I suggested that he bring his ladder, but he said he gave it to Mike to use for working on his house. But he said he had some wood he can make a ladder out of. He will bring the wood tomorrow and will make a ladder for us so we will have one here to use. Then I looked at the ladies’ lessons and discovered that I had started revising the ones that Mata said she wants verses for to use in the ladies’ meeting tomorrow. I didn’t have record that I had already printed the first ones I wrote and given them to her. So I had started revising them. Oops! Hope that doesn’t mess her up too much. A little after 3:30, I got busy in the kitchen preparing ingredients and then getting them on to cook for a chicken ‘n’ rice stir fry. While they were cooking, I worked a bit more on the ladies’ lessons. While we were eating supper, Bonita came to finish filling up the washing machine for us to wash clothes tomorrow. As soon as I was done eating, I printed out a new lesson 36 and a set of verses to go with it and tried to explain to Bonita how to explain to her mother that I had changed things. After she left, I cleaned up the kitchen and put dish water on to heat. Wrote in journal while I was waiting. Daddy was lying down again because he had a migraine. When dishes were done, I put bath water on to heat. Wrote more in journal until bath water got hot, and then took a warm, pleasant bath. The rest of the evening, I worked on lessons for ladies’ meetings.
January 20. The day seemed long, and we were both very tired long before the day ended. But the Lord continued to renew our strength so we could finish the day’s duties. It was the day for our flight back to Owena. Beds had to be stripped and all the bedding, towels, etc. loaded into the laundry basket for the house worker to wash. Last minute packing had to be done, and that took a good while. Then the truck had to be loaded up with the rest of our cargo to go to the hangar. It was about 8:15, I think, when we headed for the hangar. We unloaded the truck and weighed everything up and were ready to go. Bryan walked over to the hangar to pick up the Aibai truck, but the plane wasn’t ready for us yet. It hadn’t yet taken off for its first flight, but was about ready to. They told us it would be about an hour before he got back so we decided to go up town to get a snack. So Bryan walked back to CRMF, and said to pick him up on the way back to the hangar. First we went to Hot Spot to get a few more Ritz cheese crackers. Next we went to Papindo where Daddy went to the café and got coffee and a brownie for snack. I didn’t care to have a sweet snack so looked around the store and found a new snack — some nacho cheese tortilla chips. Bought a couple bags of those and ate some on the way back to the hangar. When we stopped at CRMF, Michael B had just arrived from Aibai so Bryan didn’t have to come take the truck. Michael would be using it. He left with the truck, and we went and sat in the MAF hangar office to wait for our flight. It was another whole hour before the plane finally returned from its first flight, and about 45 minutes more before we finally boarded the plane and were on our way. Went via SIL as there was a couple with MAF that needed to go there so the wife could have some dental work done. A quick drop off for them, and then we headed to Owena. It was a really, really rough landing. We never bounced around so much before. Daddy said that Brad talked to Matthew about the need to do some work on the airstrip. As soon as I had disembarked, I found Bonita and took her down to the house with me to get the keyboard and take it up to Brad. He is going to try to fix in for us. Shortly after she went back up with the keyboard, carriers started arriving with cargo so I got busy taking care of them. Had to open a couple boxes to find more BoyBoys (some kind of snack food) to give to the carriers. About the time the carriers had all left, Daddy came in. He said the plane had disappeared off the bottom of the runway, and everyone went running down as they were scared that something happened to the plane. But it soon came back up out of the river valley. Later David came by to get his things that Daddy had bought for him, and he said the planes have done that several time when people are working down at the river. (A lot of people are down there now harvesting peanuts.) So it was a purposeful deviation from the normal type of takeoff. (Later, Daddy learned from another pilot that, if a trainee is on board the plane, the pilot will purposely deviate to show the trainee the area or show him what he would need to do in case of plane troubles or something. Daddy went down to get the generator battery so he could charge it up. We did a little bit of unpacking until I realized it was already 2:00 and we hadn’t had any lunch. So I opened a can of tuna and prepared that for sandwiches. Also washed and cut up a tomato. We sat down and ate tuna sandwiches, then did a little more unpacking, and then lay down for a nap. It was now 3:00. It was a little after 4:00 when we got up. Did a little more unpacking and then started preparing kaukau (sweet potato) and carrots for supper. Made a meat sauce to put on the kaukau. Bonita came and filled up the washing machine for us while we were eating. After supper, we finished the unpacking—well, the food items anyway—and I did the dishes. I haven’t finished unpacking my suitcase or hand bags yet. But it is now 9:40, and we have had enough for today. Praise the Lord for His help all the day through and for giving us good flying weather and a safe trip. “16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 January 21. When I got up this morning and looked out the west window, I saw blue sky above and some sunshine on the tops of the mountains. But further to the northwest, there were rain clouds sitting on top of the mountains. Hmmm, it appeared we were in for a rainy day. But it was wash day so soon after breakfast, we started the wash. The sun had disappeared by then, and the clouds were overshadowing our world. Just as I was nearly done hanging things out, small raindrops started showering on my head. By the time I came inside, the world was enshrouded by fog, and the rain was falling more heavily. But the clothes were out to stay for the day. I remembered that it had rained last time we washed clothes—just before we went to town—and we had brought everything in and hung it around the house. Then the sun came out late morning and was out most of the afternoon. If it followed the same pattern today, wonderful! And it did, praise the Lord!. By mid-afternoon, nearly all the clothes were dry. A few hung out until later in the afternoon. When the morning rain slowed down, Daddy went down and got the generator battery to bring up and charge. Elise came by to get medicine for Dallas who is sick with body pain and fever. Later in the morning, Daddy and I, with the Lord’s help, checked chapters 14 and 15 of Revelation. Then it was time to warm up dinner. About that time, George came to get paid for the firewood he had started bringing before we went to town. There were 50 good pieces of firewood. While he and his family were bringing them all inside the gate and putting them under the house, we ate our dinner. Then Daddy paid George and let him get what he wanted with his money. He spent a little less than half so has some left for later. After that we had our nap, and after nap, I had a protein drink and then brought in most of the clothes. Then I made the corrections in Revelation from our checking this morning. Daddy was busy off and on throughout the day answering the door and giving people things they had asked him to buy for them in town. After supper, I did dishes and then had a bath. The rest of the evening, I worked on Revelation lessons. Finished chapter six, including the quizzes. “14For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 |
