October 2. Another very cold, mostly cloudy day. So today Daddy got a fire going in the wood stove. With that, I was able to bake some of the kaukau in the wood stove oven and boil the rest of it on top of the wood stove. Wrote another e-mail this morning — to Margaret this time. Most of my other computer time today was used to get the next part of the outline course organized. Before supper, there was a bunch of greens to sort and wash and a few green onions to wash to go with the greens. Then I washed and cut up tomato and cucumber to go with our supper. After supper and bath, I cut up the greens and onions into the pressure cooker and set them on to cook. Also put dish water on to heat, and shortly it was ready for washing dishes. “17) For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.” Romans 5:17-18 October 3. There was no lotu bell at Liberty this morning. The group that had carried coffee yesterday for Danny had not yet returned. We learned that they had gone beyond Konkonbira so wouldn’t be back until today. Because there was no lotu down below, Judy came early to do laundry; but I hadn’t gotten things ready yet as I had just barely gotten up and dressed so Daddy asked her to come back a bit later. It was chilly and damp this morning so Daddy got a fire going in the wood stove. There wasn’t much sunshine to dry the clothes, but there was a good amount of wind and the air outside warmed up quickly. Later in the morning, there was a good amount of blue sky and some sunshine. And this afternoon, there was lots of sunshine, and the house was pleasantly warm. After Judy finished the laundry, she swept all the floors. Then she had a cup of coffee and some bananas before heading home. I did a little crocheting today and quite a bit of work on the Bible outline lessons. I fixed some carrots for dinner to go with the kaukau I had cooked yesterday. Went out and brought in all the clothes that were dry. Daddy brought in the last four items after dinner. This afternoon, I washed my hair and cut up two small popo that were ripe and ready to be cut. We just finished up the last of the other popo today. “2) God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?... 6) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7) For he that is dead is freed from sin…. 11) Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord…. 18) Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness…. 22) But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:2,6,7,11,18,22,23 October 4. The Lord gave us a lovely sunshiny day. Even though it was quite chilly early in the morning, everything warmed up quickly. Before making our Sunday pancakes; I made myself a small pot of tea. Read Bible while I was eating breakfast. Made bed and folded clothes after breakfast. Then had prayer time and crocheted. Went outside for a few minutes while Daddy called Christy to see if she could get rid of a too-big e-mail for us. (Later in the day, he was able to get the other e-mails in.) In the afternoon, I got journal notes together for C&C. Copied the printer invoice from Daddy’s computer onto a flash drive. Also printed more outreach lessons and pictures for school this week. Had planned to get the September progress report ready in the evening, but Nuanda came to visit and was here until well after 9:00. We are always encouraged by his visits. He needs lots of prayer, he has so much on his shoulders. We asked him how his preaching went a week ago today. He said it went well, and a number of people made things right with the Lord. Some of them said they did not know that part of the feast involved calling on the spirits of their ancestors. (But why did they take part in that after they found out?) Nuanda also told us that people did intend to fight on Monday when they came up to meet the group from the other village at the top of the airstrip. They intended to kill "S" for starting everything. It was all Nuanda could do to restrain them. He also had to compel "S" to contribute to the payment for the serious injury the young man from the other village received since "S" was responsible for all the problems and hadn’t contributed anything. So he went and got K62 together. Altogether they gave the young man a pig (K600) and K1000 cash. We’re thankful for the wisdom the Lord gives Nuanda to help in these difficult situations. We talked to Nuanda too about putting the missionary training school under LIBC, and he said he had been talking about it with the church. He said it would be fine to call it Solders of Christ Missionary School, ministry of Liberty Independent Baptist Church. “For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.” Amos 4:13
