July 19. Slept in a few minutes late this morning. Seems like the morning goes by too quickly when I get up late. I answered the door once while Daddy was eating. Then I made my morning drinks and read a couple chapters of Pidgin Revelation. Made some popo syrup to go with my pancakes as I had finished up the last of my syrup yesterday. Mata came with bananas while I was eating breakfast. Praise the Lord for more bananas. Judy came to practice computer. While she was doing that, I had time for prayer and making the bed. Following computer practice, Judy filled up the washing machine so it is ready for her to wash clothes tomorrow morning. The plane came, and Daddy went up to the airstrip to talk to the pilot. After Judy left, I started a little Bible study in Exodus. In the middle of that, I answered the door once and took a couple phones to charge and taped up a letter for Wenke to send out on the plane to his son. Before I finished, there was another knock. It was Antopa’s wife. I hadn’t seen her for ages, and we were happy to see each other. She wondered about buying thread and cooking oil. I told her she couldn’t buy it, but I would give her some. She was very grateful. Also gave her a needle, an empty bottle for water, and, most important of all, a tract. She said that Antopa is very weak. He cannot walk, just crawls. He can’t eat much. I explained to her how important it is for them to know Jesus Christ and the true way to heaven, and that I don’t want them to die without knowing Christ. She said she would have Black (their daughter) read the tract to them. While I was saying good-bye to her, someone came in with a box and set it on the floor. (Daddys said later that it was Evelin.) After Antopa’s wife left, I turned around to go back into the house, and there was Glenys. She had off-loaded some more roofing iron and loaded up the plane with coffee, but the weather was bad in Aiyura, so Daddy invited her down to the house. She came for about a half hour to give time for the weather to clear up in Aiyura. Enjoyed our little visit with her. Then we had fun opening the box from C&C. Praise the Lord for ink for the ink tank printer! Also for dates, figs, and prunes, decaf coffee, organic jasmine green tea, toothpaste, Plackers flossers, dental floss, chewy ginger candy, mail, a flash drive with sermons, and a few other things. There were walnuts, too, which I was excited about. I had really been hungry for nuts; but, sad to say, they were rancid. And not only that, about a third of them were rotten, black rotten. Boo, hoo! Guess I’ll still be hungry for nuts. It took two and a half months for the package to arrive. Praise the Lord for the safe arrival of this package. We continue to pray for the others to arrive soon and safely. Finally, I went back to finishing my Bible study and then wrote in my journal. By then it was dinner time. This afternoon, I put away things that had come in the box, got another computer lesson written, and transferred to my computer the Pidgin I Corinthians outline that Daddy had done. Praise the Lord, Daddy was able to get the e-mails sent this afternoon. This evening, I got a couple more chapters of Acts set up in the computer file and am nearly one-third done with Acts. July 20. A very cool, drizzly day. A good day for an all-day fire in the wood stove. Judy came early and did the laundry. Then she had her computer lesson. Not long after she left, we went out and brought the clothes in. A handful of things were dry in spite of the drizzle, but most things were still pretty wet so we hung them in the house. About the same time, it also dawned on me that I had never eaten breakfast. By the time I got the clothes hung up and warmed up a couple muffins, it was already 11:00. A very late breakfast indeed. And before too long, it would be dinner time. Worked quite a bit today on setting up Pidgin Acts and am thankful to have finished through chapter 13. In the afternoon, I had to wash my hair and make tortillas. Also took down, folded, and put away all the laundry. But still had some time to work on Acts. This evening, I printed out three copies of the first booklet (chapters 1-8) of the Romans outline and text in Pidgin. Those are for Amos, Mike, and Dallas.
