January 20. Again the day was dry and very warm. After breakfast and quiet time, I folded clothes and did a little crocheting. Then I started setting up journal notes to be sent to Connie. Took a little stretch break and cut up popo — some to be made into popo crisp and some for eating raw. Back to the computer to work more on the journal notes. Then Daddy and I went out for a stretch in the sunshine. A few more minutes at the computer to finish the journal notes and get them put onto a flash drive to go to the ACER. Around 11:30, I started preparing spaghetti and meat sauce for Daddy’s dinner; and about 12:15, we were ready to eat. This afternoon and evening, I finished up the Revelation lesson I’d been working on. Praise the Lord for His help with that. Have just one more lesson to go. Nuanda came again during school time today and brought two of the church men with him so that we could explain about having the school under the authority of LIBC, the purpose for it and the meaning of it. They felt it was important to bring a couple men with him as witnesses so they can let the other men know exactly what is meant by having the school under the church. January 21. Back to rainy season this afternoon. Heavy rains came from the north this time and rained in around the north window in the schoolroom. The house became quite chilly this evening. This morning, I wrote an e-mail to C&C and sent them journal notes. We were thankful for sunshine so we could get outside a while. Started on the next Revelation lesson and worked on that off and on the rest of the day. In the culture class I’ve been teaching, we are now reading the book on the history of missions in New Guinea. The students were asking if the ships in the early days had engines, and if they had airplanes then. We read about Australia taking over German New Guinea after World War I. Amos started telling about the skeleton of a war plane that crashed into the mountain near Mobutasa. There were bombs on the plane, but the plane didn’t explode and the pilot and whoever else was on the plane didn’t get hurt. They ran away, but they told the people not to touch the bombs. However, people from Mobutasa and Okapa looked at the bombs and thought the metal would be good for making axes. So they decided to try cutting up one of the bombs to get the metal. Needless to say, a number of people from both Mobutasa and Okapa were killed. Another time Itansa and Putasao and other men from Owena found a cartridge from some kind of firearm. They wanted to see what would happen if they smashed it so started beating on one end of it with a rock. The cartridge exploded and tore up foliage in its pathway. The men said they “lost their spirit” but nobody was in the pathway of the explosion so nobody got hurt.
