October 16. So thankful to be feeling better this morning though not very strong. At least I felt like eating a little bit. Not strong enough to handle school yet. Was thankful for Bonita’s coming after lotu to do the laundry. Went back to bed for a nap about mid-morning. Afterward, I prepared a couple potatoes and some kaukau for my dinner. Somehow I had managed to make spaghetti for Lewis yesterday (before the fever struck I guess), and there was plenty left over for today. I don’t handle spaghetti very well so fixed the potatoes and kaukau for myself. Had another fairly long nap after lunch. Then I practiced keyboard for a while, looked at the e-mails that came in yesterday, and wrote in journal. Late this afternoon, the fog and rains descended upon us, and the air turned quite cool. So I put the bath water on while we were eating supper, and had my bath immediately after supper. A little later, I washed dishes, wrote an e-mail, worked a bit on notes for lessons on the book of John. October 17. What a cold night it was! Outside temperature got down to 48º this morning, and inside temperatures were in the low 50’s. Praise the Lord for strengthening me to be able to get back to school this morning. I just let them sing in music class and didn’t teach them parts because of having a cough and not much of a voice. Wanted to save what voice I had for teaching the other classes. Took a fairly long nap this afternoon. Afterward I cut up a popo to have with bananas and currants for our fruit snack. Then I got busy in the schoolroom — erasing the chalkboard, writing lesson plans for tomorrow, writing math exercises on the chalkboard. After supper, I put dish water on right away so I could get the dishes done and get to the computer. But before I could get to the dishes, Mequ came with a bunch of bananas for us to buy, and then Kristina came with all of her children and brought a couple pieces of firewood and some avocadoes. Lois was with her too, and it was a joy to see her. Hadn’t seen her for a long time. After they left, the dishes finally got done. Then I started writing in journal and also sent and received e-mails. Later in the evening, I worked on the lesson in John. “17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.” Psalm 139:17,18 Oh, how precious! Oh, how great! Oh, how wonderful! Oh, how marvelous!
