December 2. Down to about 32º this morning. Waited until around 9:00 to do laundry to give the air a chance to warm up before hanging out clothes. It was about 46º when I hung out the clothes, but it felt very pleasant outside. The rest of the morning, I did some research to find statistics and a missionary quote to add to the end of the newsletter. Then I printed out a copy of the letter for proofreading. After nap this afternoon, I looked out the window and there was Duck sitting there on his porch. Connie said he had just gotten home. I took a few minutes to run over and let him know that we had been praying for him and to assure him of God’s love. Most of all we pray for Duck’s salvation. And Christine’s too. Christine said they have a month extension to find a place to live. Perhaps the Lord will give us another chance to share the gospel with them. Not long after I came back to the house, Daddy called. The Lord had brought him safely to Port Moresby and everything went well for entering the country and getting his visa. However, all the flights to Goroka were cancelled because of the work on the Goroka airstrip. He stayed the night at Mapang. It was 6:30 a.m. there when he called, and he was going to head back to Jackson’s airport to see if he could get a flight up to Goroka today (Saturday morning there). (In a later call, he said it was afternoon before he went to the airport.) “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” II Corinthians 3:18 Thank You, Lord, for giving us eyes to see Your glory in the mirror of Your word so that by Your Spirit You might change us into the image of Your dear Son. December 3. Went to bed a little earlier last night, and woke up around ten past six this morning. After quiet time, I started cooking fish for breakfast to go with the rest of my buckwheat. Later I swept the dining room and kitchen floors and emptied trash. Got most of my desk cleaned off. After Christy finished doing her and Connie’s laundry, we went off to Hobby Lobby. There I bought some yarn and some thin elastic. We also made a stop at Office Depot because the printer ran out of black ink yesterday. Right after nap this afternoon, I started making soup - vegetable soup with chicken broth. It always takes quite a while to get all the veggies cut up, and it was close to 4:00 when everything was ready to start cooking. Shortly after that, Daddy called. He didn’t get into Goroka until 5:00 Saturday afternoon. All the stores were closed, and there was nothing to eat in the house where he is staying. I think he said someone gave him some food, but it was hard to hear him. It was Sunday there when he called, going on 7:00 a.m. He was going to go out to Goroka West and buy a few groceries so he could have something for breakfast. He would also look around and see what was available to buy to take back to the bush as he only has two days now to shop. His flight is scheduled for Wednesday. He said to pray for dry weather as there has been lots of rain. He was very thankful for the good customer service he had all along the way. Wheelchair service is such a blessing for senior travelers. Counting the extra time he had to wait at Jackson’s airport to get his flight Saturday afternoon, he was in flight or in waiting for flights a total of 68 hours. Praise the Lord for taking care of him.
