July 19. The Lord gave us another nice day. After breakfast and quiet time, Daddy and I finished checking Hebrews 9. And after a short break, I made corrections in the computer file and then started setting it up in the print file. I had just barely started on the print file when the computer quit working. It wouldn’t do anything. Did I pick up a virus again? Had to force shut down. Then Daddy took the computer down to the office to be looked at. After that, we went out to do a little shopping and have lunch at Papindo Café. Came back and had nap. Then did mostly nothing for the rest of the afternoon and evening. The CRMF worker brought my computer up around 4:00. He said the hard drive has gone bad and I should back up files before it completely crashes. Thankfully, I had already backed up everything while we were still in Owena. There were just a few files I had worked on while we were out which I needed to back up. I had to restart the computer four or five times just to save about a dozen files, forcing shut down each time because everything locked up, including the mouse. Later in the evening, I did a couple puzzles in Daddy’s crossword puzzle book, and sang a few hymns. And before bed, we had devotions together. July 20. I remembered at bedtime last night that I hadn’t backed up my journal files. This morning there was laundry to do again. Put the clothes in the machine to wash while I was having quiet time and breakfast since it takes over an hour for the machine to go through the whole cycle. Also had a few minutes to boot up the computer once more and save my journal files to the flash drive. After we got the laundry hung up in the breezeway, we skyped C&C and enjoyed a nice chat. It is such a blessing to have that option. When we finished talking, we got ready to go out shopping again. We were prepared to search all the stores for mayonnaise, starting with stores we hadn’t looked at yet. We did stop at Papindo central first. Looked again for mayo while we were there, but there was none. Thought I would get some of those nice tomatoes I had seen there the other day, but the nice ones were all gone, and they were replaced with trays of half green tomatoes. Next on the way was King Wee. Looked first for mayo and found four bottles on the shelf. Went back to get a buggy and then came and put all four bottles in the buggy. Daddy came in right after that. He went to look for Ritz cheese crackers and found some. I went to the cooler and found tomatoes. Praise the Lord! Then Daddy got a carton of Indomie chicken noodles and a half case of cooking oil for trade items. Then we were ready to check out. Next we went to Remington, hoping to look at computers and printers, but they were closed. Checked Goroka Stationery, but they didn’t have much available. Went around to Able’s and they were closed. Last stop was the post office. Daddy went in and checked with Joanne about the package we were expecting. Joanne checked with Francis who works in that department; and, praise the Lord, the package was there, and Daddy was able to pick it up. The best news, however, was that Joanne said she had invited Francis to hear the Jewish men preach, and Francis got saved. After we got back to the flat, we opened the box. I kept out a couple items I needed and then repacked the box. We read the mail. Then Daddy went out to Papindo again to get himself some lunch. I cooked some carrots and warmed up leftover chicken and chips from yesterday’s lunch. Daddy ran into the Tanners at Papindo Café. Then Andrew, a Pacific Helicopter worker, sat down and talked with Daddy. He remembered Daddy from several years ago when we had dinner with Remi and other MAF folks. He invited us out to dinner Monday night at Pacific Garden, along with the Venters. He said he is the only Christian he knows of working with PH, but he is hoping to get a position with MAF. When Daddy came home, we had a nap. This afternoon, I remembered that I hadn’t written journal notes yesterday. (I have to write them by hand now until I get another computer.) So spent a good part of the afternoon writing journal notes for yesterday and today. This evening, I started looking through ALL THE WOMEN OF THE BIBLE, a book I had had C&C send. Then did the dishes. Sang a while. Then had a shower. Then we had devotions together before bed.
