May 10. It has been a very quiet day. Only Mora and Julian came to the door . I am thankful that my back has been a little better today. I still move very slowly and need to be very careful about how I move. This morning, I looked over lessons for tomorrow and made sure everything is ready for classes. This afternoon, I made yogurt And this evening, I got to talk for a while to my own best earthly friend. May 11. Christy’s birthday. Woke up this morning with chills. Had chills Tuesday evening and yesterday evening, but today I had them all morning. Have not been able to eat well for the past couple days too. The Lord helped me to feel well enough to teach, but as soon as class was over, I felt very weak and knew I needed to rest. I had a small lunch and went to bed early. When I awoke, I was hot — a fever. Started on amoxicillin and went and lay back down for another hour. Felt a little better after that, but still very weak. May 12. Did not finish writing in my journal yesterday evening. Was even too tired and weak to talk with Daddy. I was going to just let him do most of the talking, but we could not even get good reception. After trying for a good while, we finally said good night. Then I went right to bed. I was too weak to do anything else. It was 8:00 when I went to bed. Woke up a little before 10:00, and I was hungry as I hadn’t eaten much supper. Got up and had a piece of toast with honey and took another amoxicillin. Went back to bed and slept until 5:45 this morning when I was awakened by a noisy rat. Decided I’d slept long enough so got up and ready for the day. Felt so much better this morning, and felt like eating too. My back is still giving me a good amount of pain, however. While I was eating lunch, I filled up the washing machine one half bucket at a time. I had about a two-hour nap. Then I graded the students’ work for today, washed the dishes, roasted peanuts, ate supper, had a bath. This evening again, Daddy and I were not able to talk. There was a storm there in Goroka and fog, too, which may have affected phone connection. He did connect when he first called, but we lost connection within a couple minutes, and he was never able to connect again. So, sadly, we were not able to chat together. I could hear thunder off to the north when Daddy first rang, and it came closer and closer during the next hour until it reached Owena and brought us some light rain for the evening. “I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.” (Psalm 89:1) Here is another verse that encourages us to talk about the Lord to all generations, and that includes singing. With singing, with talking, we can tell of His mercies, and we can make known His faithfulness to all generations.
