March 17. The Lord sent us rain yesterday evening and all night long, and sunshine this morning. On the news this morning, Daddy heard that the prime minister plans to give a speech later today to let the nation know about the proposed isolation program. The cases of COVID in the country are on the rise, and he had promised there would not be another lockdown so we’ll see (hopefully) what the isolation program entails. Daddy can’t get any PNG stations on the radio in order to hear the speech so he’ll have to try to get the details of it from someone else. (We never did hear any kind of details through any source. Nobody seems to be sure what is going on.) The morning was busy with many things and it went by quickly. Read a couple chapters of Mark in Pidgin while I was having my Wednesday morning tea. Had leftover pancakes for breakfast. Prayer time was next. Also finished up the half afghan hexagon that I started yesterday evening.. Made the bed. Folded yesterday’s laundry. Did my walking exercise. Wrote a couple e-mails. Enjoyed Bible study in Genesis. Sent the e-mails. Wrote a bit in journal. Made flatbread to put spaghetti sauce on for my dinner since I can’t eat the noodles. MAF came in with teachers (?) for the community school, and Daddy went up to the airstrip to talk to the pilot. Tim said they didn’t know anything yet about the isolation program, but would let us know. They are doing as much flying this week as they can just in case. (They apparently never found out much either because we never heard back from them.) After nap, I washed my hair, then cut up a huge popo, using half for popo crisp and setting aside half for eating raw. Worked on the Ready lessons, and worked on them again this evening. Started another half hexagon before our devotions together. “As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.” (Psalm 18:30) March 18. The Lord sent us a little rain during the night,; some fog this morning; followed by nice, warm sunshine until late afternoon when a huge front in the western skies brought rain. . Amos came early and finished cutting the grass on the north side of the yard area. Wan came around mid-morning and cleaned out ditches. We are very thankful for their hard work. Later in the morning, the plane came with more teachers. There is talk again that school students will be sent back to their villages again like they were last year. There is also talk that Owenians in Port Moresby are thinking of returning to Owena because of the high rate of COVID in Moresby. We wonder if they will bring COVID with them. Most of my time today was spent working on the Ready lessons, and I am thankful for the Lord’s help in finishing that short course. Am going through it now to highlight and italicize words that will be blanks in the students’ copies. Praise the Lord, we did actually get to start back to school today, with all seven students here.
