June 29. Thank you, Lord, for such a lovely morning. Some blue sky, but still some clouds. Hardly any fog, however, and much warmer than it has been. It is dark until later in the mornings now so hard to get up at 6:00. It was 6:30 again before I finally arose from the bed. No more sleeping in after today though. Have to be up and ready for Daddy to come tomorrow morning, Lord willing. And, Lord willing, we will start back to school on Wednesday. Today started out with several knocks at the door so it was a while before I got my breakfast. By then I had a migraine and had a headache the rest of the morning. First thing after breakfast, I started washing some clothes. Put some music on to play in the CD player so my mind could dwell on pleasant things. Before I was done rinsing the clothes, Yanahdo came to the door. I was happy to see her. She wanted some yarn so I gave her some from my supply that I’m sure I will never get a chance to use. Also gave her some salt and Maggi. And, even though I wasn’t quite done with the laundry, I asked her if she wanted me to read some Scripture to her. She was delighted; and I was delighted, too, for that opportunity to be a blessing. After she left, I rinsed the rest of the clothes and then went outside to hang them up. It was so nice to get out in the sunshine. I kept thanking the Lord for the sunshine and the little wind that was blowing. When I came inside, I emptied the wash tub, had a protein drink, and put some eggs on to boil for sandwiches and perhaps a protein snack. After that I made the bed, and, at last, got a chance to sit down. Worked on the Revelation lesson the rest of the morning. This afternoon was spent starting another painting. Right after supper, I did dishes and then had a sponge bath so I was ready for a relaxing evening and a phone chat with my special friend. Also finished up the Revelation lesson. Just need to add questions at the end. June 30. Wow! It was a busy day! I woke up at 5:45. It was still dark, but I didn’t dare go back to sleep because the plane would be coming early and I wanted to get my breakfast and have quiet time before people started knocking at the door. Daddy said he was going to call at 7:30 for weather, but it got to be 7:45 and he hadn’t called yet. So I called him in case he had tried to get through but couldn’t. When I called, the weather was nice. There was lots of blue sky and just a couple little patches of fog. It would be a nice morning for the flight. About ten minutes after I called him, I saw some fog coming up over the western ridge and some coming down river from the east, but there were still lots of open places. It wasn’t long before the two banks of fog met and began climbing higher and higher and higher until nearly the whole village was enshrouded by fog. It was too late to call Daddy back now as he would already be in the helicopter on his way here. Several days ago, I had read Mark 11:24, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” And this morning I had read Luke 1:39, “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” So I sat and prayed, asking the Lord to move the fog up and away as quickly as it had come. Praise the Lord, by the time the helicopter arrived, much of the fog had cleared away, and there was plenty of open space for the helicopter to come in. He hadn’t been on the ground long when the Lord had lifted the fog completely away. How wonderful to have Daddy back home again!—twelve days away is soooo long. Well, now there was the work of unpacking and putting things away. Six new chairs had to be cleaned and set up in the schoolroom. And food had to be prepared for our dinner too—rice for me, spaghetti for Daddy, a small bunch of carrots to peel and cut up, and meat sauce to make. It was 12:30 before dinner was finally ready. I was very grateful for a nap. Was awakened from nap by cool wind blowing in and a few drops of rain and also a knock on the door. Made a popo crisp with the rest of the big popo that I had been cutting pieces from the past couple days. Since there were no oats in town, I used Weet-Bix for the topping. Then I sat and relaxed and painted until supper time. Had bath right after supper before the air got too cool. Printed out students’ copies of the music lessons for tomorrow. The dish water had just gotten hot when Dallas came by. If we weren’t going to start school tomorrow, he would go meet Mike and family on the road and help them; but since we are going to try to get back to school, he will send his younger sisters and brother. He said he had just gotten back from Kairaba where he spent most of the night teaching Rovi. After Dallas left, I re-heated the dishwater and did the dishes.
