July 27. Praise the Lord for a little bit of warmth and sunshine today. I was happy to get outside for a few minutes although, even though the sun was shining, the rain kept spitting at me. There was still a good bit of clouds and several periods of light rain. It was a joy to see bright stars shining in the dark sky for a time during the night. Even though we have had periods of rain, there has not been enough rain to make the ground wet. I thank the Lord for His strength and guidance throughout the day. July 28. The Lord gave us a cold, foggy, rainy morning. The afternoon was still cloudy and cool, but the skies were a bit brighter. The children had to stay inside for recess (because of the weather). How nice it would be to have a teacher’s helper in the classroom! I miss having Anna Jean there. I am amazed at the children’s progress in learning Psalm 23, especially Gideon. The memorization of the Psalm was not assigned, and I hadn’t intended for them to learn it, but I would not squelch their desire to learn the Scripture for anything. And the fact that they are memorizing it in English and are excited about doing so when they don’t even speak English yet except for a few monologues and dialogues, that makes it even more remarkable. This afternoon, I got a good start on lesson plans for next Monday and next week, and had high hopes of getting lesson plans done before the day was through. But once again, the Lord did not allow that to happen. It seems like the same thing happens every weekend — I get a good start on lesson plans and then somebody comes to visit and talk. This afternoon Rex and his wife, Judy, and little girl Priscilla came to visit before they go back to Bible school this coming week. We enjoyed a good visit with them. It was nearly 5:00 when they left, and Daddy needed to heat water and wash up yet so we had a late supper. I was thankful to have been able to finish all of Monday’s lesson plans in the early evening, except for making and printing worksheets and proofreading and printing Bible lessons for the week.
