November 27. Praise the Lord for answering prayer and for Daddy being able to get home today! I heard some light rain for about an hour during the night, but there was quite a bit of blue sky this morning. Patchy fog kept creeping down the Lamari valley, however, and rising up to the mountain tops on the other side of the Lamari. We expected an early flight, but Daddy’s flight was re-scheduled for 11:00. By mid-morning, however, the clouds had taken over, and there was no more blue sky. Then they changed his flight to 12:00, but some of the clouds looked threatening so they went ahead and did the 11:00 flight. I had planned on using some of the food he would bring home to make some dinner, or else boil eggs to make egg salad sandwiches; but neither of those things were possible because it was late when he got in. I just mixed up some tuna, and cut up a beautiful red tomato from among those that Daddy had gotten at market. That made tasty and healthy sandwiches. It took most of the rest of the day to unpack and put away supplies that Daddy brought home. Quite a few village people came for this or that too. I did get to make spaghetti for Daddy’s supper. There was leftover uxai for his veggie, and there was soup for my supper. Afterward I had a bath as the house was getting quite chilly. Then I read all the e-mails that came while Daddy was in town. November 28. Cloudy most of the day, but the Lord gave enough sunlight and wind to dry the clothes. This afternoon, I proofread the notes for the next two outline lessons for Daddy’s class. Then I put them on flash drive, took them to Daddy’s computer, and tried to print them on the new printer. What a frustration! At first, it wouldn’t let me print because I couldn’t connect to the internet. Daddy solved that problem somehow. Then it printed a couple pages, but I didn’t get the correct pages on the back. So I printed two more pages and tried to print the back pages one at a time. Now the printer decided it wasn’t going to print. Why can’t they make printers simple to operate like they used to? Daddy worked on that problem for a while, and we finally got the two pages printed correctly front and back. But I’m going to have to figure out how to do the backs of multiple pages. (Mom and Dad were able to get this new printer through a gift that was given to them, and the printer is a blessing to them. However, the new printers do not work the same as the old printers. That is just a challenge of new technology. Please pray for them as they try to figure this out and other new things as well. Thank you.) This evening, I changed all the bold-faced, italicized words to blanks and the underlined italicized phrases on the lessons and have them ready to print for the students. The students are not ready for them yet, however. They still need to finish (if they didn’t already do it over their break time) their own sermon following the plan of the last lessons, and then preach it. November 29. A lot of time needed to be spent in the kitchen today. There were pancakes to make and pancake syrup, plus tea for my pre-breakfast drink. Eggs to cook to go with Daddy’s pancakes. Kefir to be strained and a new batch made. Things to put away—pancakes when they cooled, and the syrup. Made a small fruit salad for my own breakfast, and later warmed up a muffin to eat. There were two popos to be washed, ready to be peeled and cut up in the afternoon. I was thankful that dinner only needed to be warmed up in the microwave. Washed, peeled, and cut up a cucumber for supper. Cut up some pieces of cheese for Daddy to have a tomato and cheese sandwich for supper, and for myself to have on toast with some spaghetti-meat sauce. Fruit salad was for afternoon snack also, and the water filter pitcher needed to be refilled as well as my bottle of Celtic sea salt water. Dishes to do this evening. After the morning’s kitchen work (had been on my feet for about 2 1/2 hours or so) I was ready for a sit-down break. Finished prayer time and did some crocheting. Then Daddy and I went out for a short walk. When we came back, we had our worship time together. Enjoyed singing a couple old hymns, and one new hymn called “Jesus Only, Let Me See” by Oswald J. Smith, a really nice, restful song that I learned out of the hymn book when Daddy was in town. Before nap, I had to make the bed because I’d forgotten to do that job in the morning. After nap, besides cutting up the popo, I washed my hair. This evening, I copied e-mails onto a flash drive from Daddy’s computer so I can start answering them.
