January 22. The Lord gave us a mostly rainy day today so we did not get to go out for a walk. The day stayed cool too. Daddy kept the wood stove going a little longer than usual until our bodies warmed up more. This morning there was lotu. Matthew preached from Ephesians 1:12-14 on the Holy Spirit of promise. There weren’t very many present. A lot of people are down at the river harvesting peanuts. While we were in lotu, the filters for the Aqua Rain were on the wood stove to boil again. After lotu, I washed thoroughly in hot soapy water both parts of the Aqua Rain, and rinsed them well too. Once the filters had boiled, I drained the water off and set the filters aside to cool. Then Daddy put them back in the Aqua Rain and filled the Aqua Rain with water. It seems to be working well, and the water tastes okay so we pray that it will do well and give us good clean-tasting water. (When I got done washing the Aqua Rain, I washed up the other dishes that were at the sink too. So then I didn’t have quite so many to do this evening, but the dish drainer was still full.) After taking the filters off the wood stove, I set a pan of eggs on to boil so I could make egg salad for our supper sandwiches. When all that was done, it was time to sit down a while so Daddy and I worked on checking Revelation. Praise the Lord for His help in completing two chapters—16 and 17. Back to the kitchen again, this time to sort and wash greens and cut them up into the pressure cooker with some onion. Had also husked uxai and added it to the pot. That was our dinner veggie to go with the leftover kaukau and meat sauce. While the veggies were cooking, I made the corrections in Revelation; and when the veggies were done, I warmed up the leftovers. Then we had dinner, and afterward a nap, of course. Slept a couple hours, not that I necessarily needed that long a nap, but I needed extra time with my feet up as they are still quite swollen and painful since we went to town. After nap, I had a little snack and then put undercoat on the plywood section of wall in the schoolroom and also on the bookshelves. That took quite a while; and by the time I was done and had cleaned out the paint brush, it was time to get supper on the table. Peeled the eggs and then sat down to mash and season them and mix them with mayonnaise. Daddy helped by getting everything else on the table. “3Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,...” 2 Corinthians 6:3-4 January 23. Another day has nearly passed. This morning, I made a half gallon of a mixture of herbal teas for special healing needs. Then Daddy and I checked Revelation chapter 18, and afterward went for a short walk. The rest of the morning, I spent putting the gloss coat of paint on the schoolroom walls, and Daddy started bordering the bedroom walls with undercoat, getting it ready for filling in with the roller. When I finished, it was a little past noon. There was nothing left for dinner so we had lunch. Daddy helped by cleaning out the paint brush while I cut up a tomato and set the table. After lunch, we lay down for nap; but in a few minutes, Daddy heard the roar of a plane making a circuit above the village and knew they would be landing here. So Daddy went up to the airstrip while I finished my nap. It was SIL with medical supplies. He was on the ground quite a long time because he had to wait for a health worker to come up and fill in forms for having received the supplies. He didn’t seem to be in any hurry though and enjoyed talking with Daddy and other people while he was waiting. When I got up, I finished writing the progress report that I had started yesterday; and then Daddy proofread it; and then I proofread it, and finally I put it in the Word file and put it on a flash drive to send later. Then Daddy lay down for the nap he didn’t get earlier. Daniel came to the door while he was sleeping. He wanted some salt and soap and also wanted to know if we had any work for him to do. I told him that Daddy was wanting someone to help paint the bedroom. I suggested that he bring his ladder, but he said he gave it to Mike to use for working on his house. But he said he had some wood he can make a ladder out of. He will bring the wood tomorrow and will make a ladder for us so we will have one here to use. Then I looked at the ladies’ lessons and discovered that I had started revising the ones that Mata said she wants verses for to use in the ladies’ meeting tomorrow. I didn’t have record that I had already printed the first ones I wrote and given them to her. So I had started revising them. Oops! Hope that doesn’t mess her up too much. A little after 3:30, I got busy in the kitchen preparing ingredients and then getting them on to cook for a chicken ‘n’ rice stir fry. While they were cooking, I worked a bit more on the ladies’ lessons. While we were eating supper, Bonita came to finish filling up the washing machine for us to wash clothes tomorrow. As soon as I was done eating, I printed out a new lesson 36 and a set of verses to go with it and tried to explain to Bonita how to explain to her mother that I had changed things. After she left, I cleaned up the kitchen and put dish water on to heat. Wrote in journal while I was waiting. Daddy was lying down again because he had a migraine. When dishes were done, I put bath water on to heat. Wrote more in journal until bath water got hot, and then took a warm, pleasant bath. The rest of the evening, I worked on lessons for ladies’ meetings.
