January 11. This morning, we waited for Matt C to call and let Daddy know that he had made it into town and was ready to be picked up at the hangar. While we were waiting, I did some crocheting until my yarn ran short. Now I need to attach more yarn. 9:30 came and went, but still no call so Daddy finally called the hangar to find out when Matt would be in. He was told that Matt would be driving into town and not flying. Daddy expected he would be here any time then because he usually leaves around 4:30 a.m. so he can get here early and get busy shopping. I started writing an e-mail, but it got to be close to 10:00 and there was no sign of Matt, so Daddy finally decided that we would go out shopping. First, we went to Seng Da and got yarn, string rope, and bread. Brought all that back to the flat, packed the bread in a box and put it in the freezer, packed the yarn and rope, had a little snack. Next we went uptown to try to find trousers for a boy back in the village. Finally found some at Hot Spot, and Daddy also got salt there. Back to the house again to drop these things off. Now it was close to lunch time so went up the road to try to find a little café that the Venters had told us about. We passed it without seeing it, but the Lord brought us right to the door of a printing business. Stopped nearby and asked someone where the café was. They pointed us back up the road so we turned around and went back to try to find it. Finally found it, but it wasn’t open. Turned around again and went back to the printing place. Ben was very helpful and willing to print the tracts. We took a quote, and this afternoon, I reformatted the tracts to A4 size. If we can get printing done here in the country, that will be a great blessing. Left a copy of each tract with Ben, and he seemed happy to get them. It was 1:00 when we got back to the house. Had our dinner—leftovers again—and then a nap. Nap was shortened by the loud roar of a helicopter flying over the house. I thought it was going to the hospital, but Daddy said it went on past the hospital over toward the mountains. After reformatting the tracts, I got things ready for supper; and after supper, I finished the e-mail that I had started in the morning to C&C and attached journal notes. Sent that and then got some pictures ready to send while I was having a snack. After that, I did the dishes. Then we listened to yesterday morning’s service from VBC. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12; 16:25 January 12. Did a little crocheting this morning while we were waiting for Jonny to answer Daddy’s text so we could use his vehicle. But he never answered so Daddy tried to call him. Couldn’t get through so he finally decided to try my phone. Success! (Daddy wonders if he needs a new phone.) So Daddy walked over to MAF and picked up the vehicle. When he returned, he called Ben, the printer, to see how long it would take to make the tracts since we will be going back to Owena on Friday. He said he should be able to have them ready by Thursday so we went down there with the flash drive; Ben copied the files into his computer; and we paid a deposit on the tract printing. After that, we made a stop at Yida before Daddy brought me back to the house so I could work on e-mails. First, I finished my prayer time. Then readied and sent an e-mail with a vitamin order to C&C. Daddy went out and did more shopping. When he returned, it was going on lunch time so we headed for Papindo Café. I ordered a chicken filet sandwich, and Daddy ordered a hamburger, but they didn’t have any cheese, so make that two chicken filet sandwiches. After lunch, we bought a couple grocery items there before going to Papindo Central to get apples. Back home for a nap. Then Daddy went out again while I wrote more e-mails. It is fatal to look behind. All our past is strewn with the memories of our sins and failures. There is but one hope. Escape to the Cross of the Divine Redeemer! Shelter in the cleft Rock of Ages! Hasten to the open arms of the Father! -F.B. Meyer “13)….this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14
