September 28. A very quiet day. No internet working. However, Skype did work somehow so we got to have another chat with C&C. Worked on another wee bilum and nearly finished that this evening. Started an e-mail to C&C and finished that after dinner, but the internet wasn’t working so we couldn’t send it. Finally, this evening, Daddy was able to somehow send it by using our modem, which also uses the internet so it doesn’t make sense why some things work sometimes and the rest doesn’t work at all. Got my suitcase all packed with necessary things in case trouble came up and they moved us out of here to Lapilo. We went out in the yard late morning to walk around and get some sunshine and exercise. Everything was so quiet. Even one of the security guards remarked about how quiet everything was. Talked a bit with the two security guards who said that the issue with the possible fighting is that the body of the port authority man who was killed would be coming back here from Moresby for burial. It had been sent to Moresby to lie in state since he was a government official. After we walked around a bit and enjoyed the sunshine and flowers, the clouds came rolling in, and a cool wind came up so we came back inside. This afternoon, I washed my hair and did the dishes. After Daddy found out from MAF that they could fly us in tomorrow, I repacked my suitcase. After supper, I spent time packing up our food box. This evening, Daddy talked with Wenera and also with Nehemiah. Nehemiah is staying with Mike’s brother Simon in Moresby. Simon is going to buy Nehemiah’s ticket to Lae. Simon and family are unsaved, but Simon asked Daddy to pray for him on the phone so Daddy prayed for his salvation. Then we finished our devotions, and now it is time to pack up everything and go to bed. September 29. Praise the Lord for MAF and Glennys being willing to bring us back home today. There is still a lot of talk about fighting, but nobody knows for sure about anything. So the flying is being done cautiously, and the stores are open cautiously, but could close at a moment’s notice. Was up around 6:00 to finish packing, finish cleaning up the flat, eat breakfast, and wash the dishes before heading to the hangar at 8:00. Plane left Goroka a little before 9:00, and we arrived home around 9:15. Praise the Lord for safety both in town and on the flight home. Thank the Lord for the help of all those who carried cargo to the house and for Anna Jean and Wan’s help in taking in the cargo at the door and giving out the chocolates. The Lord helped us, too, to get everything unpacked (except our suitcases) and put away quickly. Then we ended up having mud come through our water line, and the water stopped running. We sent Anna Jean down to ask Amos’s help, and Amos kindly went up the line to try to find the problem. Everything seemed okay all up and down the line until he got to the join under the house. Dirt had apparently traveled down the line and stopped there, blocking the flow of water into the house. Amos was able to clean out the dirt, and water started flowing once again. Praise God for water. This afternoon, I spent time on the 9th English Bible Primer. Also unpacked most of my suitcase.
