June 20. Quite a busy day from rising time until retiring. Fixed eggs for Daddy to go with his pancakes that he warmed up for breakfast. Made a small pot of tea for myself. Drank tea and read chapter 6 in Pidgin John. Made a little more popo syrup and warmed up leftover pancakes. Had started prayer time when Nehemiah came. Daddy was supposed to teach him the discipleship class first; but since I was going to have to make a meal today, I taught him phonics first — a spelling test of 8 words, an hour’s review of the sounds he has learned thus far, and an hour learning the /k/ sound — c before a,o,u, and k before e,i. After Nehemiah had a short stretch break, he and Daddy walked a ways up the airstrip to find out why we didn’t have water. Someone had taken the pipes apart again so Daddy and Nehemiah put them back together. After his class with Daddy, Nehemiah took some rubber pieces up to fasten the two parts of the pipe together more securely. For class with Nehemiah, Daddy started teaching him the discipleship lessons. I got the bed made, finished prayer time, and worked on dinner — getting a pot of rice on to cook and browning onions and chicken and making a gravy to go on the rice. There were leftover carrots to warm up for veggie. After dinner, I looked over the Christian Family lesson that I would be teaching today. Nap was ended early when some children wouldn’t stop knocking on the door. After we were finally up, and they had knocked again, we went to the door. They had a phone to be charged, but because of their actions, we told them to bring the phone back tomorrow. Late in the afternoon, they brought the phone back, but we did not charge it because we had told them tomorrow. This afternoon — evening, I printed two booklets and two short question booklets for Nehemiah, got supper on the table, ate a slice of bread with cheese and tomato/meat sauce, taught the Christian Family class, finished supper, washed dishes, finished filling the washing machine for Anna Jean to wash clothes tomorrow, figured out some sentences to go with Nehemiah’s spelling words for tomorrow, read a portion of I Samuel, wrote in journal. “He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.” (Proverbs 16:20) June 21. Praise the Lord for rain last night. The ground is still very dry, however, so more rain is needed. I was thankful that today was not quite so busy as yesterday. Nehemiah came a little after 8:00, After that, I had phonics class with Nehemiah and Daddy had another discipleship class with him. Since I had made a meal yesterday, I didn’t need to make one today so had time to start a Bible study in I Samuel too. Finished that this afternoon after prayer time for SCMS. Late this afternoon, the helicopter came with John Boyto, the former member for Obura-Wonenara, to help settle the matter between Tainaraba and Meqauna. So we expect there will be a big court tomorrow. They will meet here since this is neutral ground.
