February 10. Rainy, cool, cloudy. Rolled over onto my side this morning as I usually do to finish waking up before I get up. However, instead of waking up, I fell back to sleep and didn’t awaken until 7:00. So the day got a late start. I did enjoy my Wednesday morning tea on this chilly, damp morning. After breakfast and quiet time, I did a little crocheting and a little more praying. Spent more time untangling yarn, however, than I did making crochet stitches. Then I did some walking, made the bed, wrote an e-mail, and did some Bible study. The rest of the morning and the after-nap part of the afternoon was spent working on the elder/deacon lessons. This evening, I printed eight copies of the Sios I Gat Glori (Glorious Church) book. Was just getting ready to get my evening snack, when Amos and Mata came to visit. They stayed for nearly an hour so it was late when I finally got my snack, but we enjoyed our visit with them. We learned about the various kinds of animals that eat the ripe coffee berries (but not the seeds) -- rats, bats, birds, snakes. And we learned about a kind of stone that comes from Jayapura and is used to treat snake bites. Jonathan and Philemon each have one, and used one when Nelson got bit by a snake not too long ago. They said the stone is laid on the area where the snake made its marks, and it draws out the blood and poison. When all the poison is drawn out, the stone falls off. It was interesting to learn how the stone is cleaned and prepared to be used again. When it is all cleaned, the stone is removed with a leaf and washed off and put away for future use. February 11. The Lord gave us sunshine this morning so we decided to go for an early walk. After I finished eating breakfast and crocheting a bit, we went up to the top of the airstrip and back. The sun was not too hot, and the air was not too cool so we enjoyed being outside. On our way back, the wind started picking up, which is an irritation to my eyes so I was thankful to get back and get inside. After a snack and getting a couple picture e-mails ready to send, I spent the rest of the morning working on elder/deacon lessons. Worked on them some more this afternoon and again this evening. Before supper, I took a look at the popos (papayas) in the cupboard and saw that one had some bad spots on it so decided to make a popo crisp for Daddy.
