September 25. It was early to rise this morning — wash day. Thank the Lord for Bonita’s willingness to get up early too, and to come do the laundry for us. The Lord gave us another very warm, dry season type day today. There was just a small group in lotu this morning. Many people have been staying down at the river until they are done planting their peanut gardens. Gibson was scheduled to preach, but he must not have looked at the list as he wasn’t here. Matthew was ready and preached a short message. Since lotu finished a bit early, we started school earlier, and the students were out by noon. I was able to get a batch of greens sorted and washed while they were studying for their history test. Dallas stayed a short while after school and cut up some small kindling. I must have been really tired today, as I had a long, sound sleep at nap time. Had a hard time getting awake afterward. After nap, I got lesson plans written, put some review math exercises on the chalkboard, and worked on the next Bible lesson in Galatians. After supper, I got the greens cut up, along with a few onions, and put in the pressure cooker ready to cook. When that was done, bath water was hot. I was thankful for a pleasant, warm bath before the evening got too cool. After bath, I wrote in my journal. Then I started writing the final history test on chapters 1-3 before doing dishes and having snack. Finished writing the history test before saying good-night to the computer. E-mails aren’t sending on these clearer evenings. “13He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. 14The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth…..18But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.” Psalm 115:13-18 September 26. Another dry season type day. Daddy has tried off and on all day to get in touch with Ben at MAF, but has not been able to. Ben has been in meetings a good part of the day, and no one answered the phone at other times. So Daddy still doesn’t have a flight scheduled for going to town. I am attempting to give the students more reading and more oral exercises in English to help them get a better hold on speaking correctly. We have started reading the book of Matthew together. Read chapter 1 yesterday and 2 today. Then I asked them questions, some of which they were to answer in the positive and some in the negative, but all with complete sentences. They all did well in their history test, and finished around 1:15. I had a long nap again, after which I made more bread for Daddy and set it to rise. Then I perfected the history exam on chapters 1-3 and put that on a flash drive ready to print. Worked more on the next Bible lesson for school. Then it was time to put the bread in the oven. While the bread was baking, I folded yesterday’s laundry and put it away. Then mixed up tuna for supper and also made the rest of the mushy sweet potatoes into pancakes as part of my supper. This evening, I worked more on the Bible lesson. Daddy and I made the shopping list. I printed out the shopping list, history tests, and bank statements. “Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.” Psalm 116:5
