January 31. A foggy, rainy morning. We were thankful for some sunshine peeking through the clouds later in the morning. Had a good group here for the meeting. Daddy taught briefly on what the church is and is not and started talking about church leadership. Afterward, I had my breakfast. Had had a couple cups of tea beforehand. Mike started the work of putting a last coat of paint on the chalkboard. Wan and Dallas worked on the cupboard in the meeting room. Daddy and I were both up and down, back and forth, with eating and little jobs, while we were overseeing the workmen. Daddy also got in touch with C&C for a while and then with Martha. We were thankful to get in touch with them as we hadn’t been able to make connections for a while. Since it was 10:00 before I finished breakfast, it wasn’t long before dinnertime. I went for nap before the men left, and Daddy came a while later. The men have finished the frame of the cupboard and now need to put on the plywood. Dallas came to us upset about something that [had happened]... This news upset me as well—a work of Satan to keep people from reading the Scripture and knowing the truth. In the afternoon and evening, I worked on reading lessons. February 1. A new month already. The day started busy and continued busy. It was late when I woke up. I guess Daddy figured I needed the sleep so he did not awaken me. There were five bananas left in the cupboard, all VERY ripe. They needed to be thrown out or used for something right away. I peeled all five bananas — VERY mushy but not rotten. Three of them went into a bowl for banana cake, and the other two went into the blender along with some popo (papaya) to be whipped up with other ingredients for a smoothie. After I drank my smoothie and read my Bible, I mashed the bananas in the bowl and added other ingredients for the banana cake. While the oven was warming up, I gathered together all the trash to be taken out and burned. Stuck the cake into the oven and took the trash outside. Enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air for a while after getting the fire going. Shortly after I came inside, the cake was done. I let it cool a few minutes and then enjoyed a piece for the rest of my breakfast. It was worth waiting for. Then Daddy helped tape down the rest of linoleum that didn’t get done the other day. During those hours, I also did a couple other small jobs. Then I started prayer time, made the bed, wrote an e-mail, wrote in journal. Shortly before dinner, Mike came with Nehemiah, Elias, and Dave to get New Testaments to take to Tainaraba. Praise the Lord for helping me finish the job of setting up several weeks’ worth of reading worksheets this afternoon and getting a start on printing them this evening. I had just finished supper when Susan came, and Penuel with her. Penuel’s body is quite swollen, and thus far, the TB medicine hasn’t helped any. He has to take it for five more months, but they are praying about a way to take him back to the doctor before then to see if there is something else they can do for him. He has a hard time walking up the mountain because it is too hard for him to pick up his swollen legs. Even though we were happy for Susan’s visit, that made our evening late once again. Now I’m ready to say good-night and fall into bed.
