November 23. The morning was busy but not at the computer. In between breakfast and answering the door, I washed the clothes and hung them out to dry. It was later than usual before I was able to sit down and crochet and pray. Later I went out and brought most of the clothes in as the sky looked threatening. A few weren’t quite dry so got them in later. Scrubbed the yams (they were quite dirty so that took a while) and peeled them and cut them up. Set them on the cook. Went out and got the rest of the clothes in. Heated up some greens to eat while I was waiting for the yams to cook as I was already hungry. The yams were done shortly, however, so I enjoyed a plateful of those. This afternoon, I thought I would print copies of Lait I Kamap for the students to read when we finish the culture course. Well, it wasn’t going to be done as quickly and easily as I expected. I decided to make just four copies, one for each of the couples and one for Judy, and I found just enough of one kind of letter-size paper to print them on, plus a few sheets extra, just in case I make a mistake. But I couldn’t find my copy anywhere. I thought for sure that I had one. So I’d have to make five. Printed the cover first. Oh, yes, the Canon does not print all the way to the right edge for some reason. I’d have to change the margins. That meant I had to change the font size, too, so I could still fit the same amount of material on a page. And I had to use the Canon because there are quite a few pictures in the book. About 4:30, I finally finished changing all the margins. Now I was hungry. Fixed a bowl of fruit and put dish water on to heat. Ate the fruit; did the dishes; ate supper; had a bath. Played a computer game while I was waiting for Daddy to call. No call—boo, hoo. So went ahead and printed out the books. Had to find a few more sheets of paper in order to get five copies. The paper I found is a little bit different than the other pages, but looks fine. Tomorrow I will collate them and put them together. November 24. Light rain most of the night. Sunshine and blue sky this morning with clouds across the north mountains and fog traveling down the Lamari valley. It was already 60º outside when I got up. I had just finished my smoothie this morning when Daddy called. I was happy to talk with him since I hadn’t been able to talk with him last night. Afterward I warmed up a couple muffins to eat, made the bed, finished my prayer time, and did some crocheting. Answered the door at least half dozen times this morning. Nuandauro brought uxai; Kaipo brought cucumbers; Bonita brought Danny’s phone to charge, and later Danny came to get it; several people came to ask if Daddy is coming back today. About mid-morning, I went out to see if I could dig out the ditch around the front of the house. Well, the side by the back porch needed it too so started there. Got as far as the corner of the front of the house; but it was already hot and humid out, and that was a hard job. For sit-down time, I proofread and printed the next two outreach lessons, and this afternoon, I printed the pictures to go with them. This evening, I started re-painting the cow bookends as they were looking pretty drab. Daddy said he would try to call again this evening; but, after I’d waited a good while, I decided to go ahead and heat water for washing up. The house is quite chilly this evening, and I didn’t want to wait too late. Had just finished when the phone rang. So, I did get to talk with Daddy again after all. How good God is!
