April 19. After breakfast and quiet time, making the bed, and sewing a button on a blouse, I spent time rearranging things in the office and in the spare room so we can make the spare room into a school room. Spent about an hour on that project, but there is much yet to be done. Daddy called someone in Hagen this morning (Brad had referred Daddy to him) to see if there might be another option for getting Daddy to town. The man is going to send two test kits down to Goroka to be brought in here so Daddy can have the health center do the test for him. It isn’t too likely that he will get them this week, but sounds like they could get here soon and Daddy can reschedule his trip to town. Praise the Lord, and we keep praying. Started setting up journal notes to send to Connie. Then Daddy and I went out for some fresh air. Then it was time to start dinner. The carrots and pumpkin were all cooked so just needed to make the soup broth which included red lentils and onions, as well as butter, milk, and seasonings. Blended it all together; and mmmm, did it ever taste good! Worked more on the journal notes after dinner until nap time. Finished them right after nap, and then washed my hair. The rest of the afternoon and evening, I worked on the family notes so I can get them printed out for Dallas. “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6 April 20. Early morning was chilly, but it wasn’t long before the Lord brought us sunshine and warmth. It was a good day for cutting firewood (bright sun is needed to run the power saw) so Amos and Nehemiah spent the morning chopping and cutting and then filling up the woodbox. Even young Cornelius helped, not with the cutting, but gathering, boxing, and carrying boxes. This is one blessing that has come from getting the solar power system installed. The ones who help Mom and Dad with firewood are now able to use a power saw to cut their firewood, making the work much easier. Thank the Lord for this blessing. Judy came early this morning too and washed clothes as she usually does on Tuesdays. Nurse Margaret came by (Bonita had gone down to tell her that Daddy would like to talk with her), and Daddy asked her about administering the COVID test when it comes. She didn’t know if she would qualify since she hasn’t had the training so Daddy called Hagen again and was given the okay to have her do it. He also called CRMF to let them know that he wasn’t sure when he would be coming. Christy gave her Belinda’s phone number (Belinda works in Aibai, but is in Goroka, having recently returned from the states), and she was willing to take a list of items that we need so she can buy them and put them at MAF hangar to be brought in here whenever a flight comes. We are not sure when Daddy can get a flight — whenever the test kit is able to be brought in and he can have the test. After my breakfast, quiet time, and making the bed, I spent another hour or so in the spare room, reorganizing and cleaning to try to get it ready to be made into a classroom. This time, I used a mask so I wouldn’t have so much trouble with the dust. Whenever I sweep or dust, I get all stuffed up and start sneezing. In the meantime, Sunny came along to clean all the weeds out from under the house. Afterward, I had a snack, did Bible study in Exodus, and wrote a bit in my journal. My how much treasure there is to be gathered from Exodus! Computer time again today was spent getting the Kristen Famili (Christian Family) lessons organized. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
