April 28. Praise the Lord that Daddy was finally able to get out to town. I just pray that he will be well and not get too worn out like he did last time. He started with a cold yesterday; and last time, he caught a cold while he was in town, didn't get much rest, and was not very well when he returned home. The weather looked so nice when we got up this morning. Lots of blue sky with pink clouds, but off in the distance some dark and thicker clouds with a part of a bright rainbow. It wasn’t long, however, before fog appeared from somewhere, and a couple layers of fog came and went within the next couple hours. By 9:00, it looked like the fog was breaking up and thinning out, and the plane left Goroka with three boxes of supplies that Belinda had purchased for us last week and also with the COVID test kit. Magaret met Daddy at the top of the airstrip and administered the test while the plane was being loaded with coffee. Praise the Lord, the test result was negative. One thing I did before breakfast was turn the fridge off and put some warm water in the freezer to thaw out the layer of ice that had built up on one side and a very thin layer on the bottom. It didn’t take long at all to defrost that bit of ice so the freezer would be ready for the frozen foods that would be coming. Made and drank my Wednesday morning tea while I was doing my morning Bible reading. Then warmed up leftover pancakes and fruit syrup for breakfast. Did a few little things to help Daddy finish getting ready. Also got the bed made. When Judy and Apekio brought the three boxes down, I unpacked them and put things away. After the plane left, I did a little bit of crocheting. Then I had a little snack and wrote an e-mail before doing Bible study in Exodus. Computer time throughout the day again was spent working on the Romans outline. Praise the Lord for helping me finish chapter 12. I’m still going to have to find a way to cut down the outlines as the file is getting too long, and there are still four chapters to go. Didn’t get to talk with Daddy too much this evening, but was thankful for the time we did get. As usual, he couldn’t get in touch with me his first night in town. I had to call him first, and then he called back. Then the connection wasn't very good, perhaps because they were getting rain there, so I missed a lot of what he was saying. He did say there still isn’t much on the shelves in the stores. He does have to have another COVID test before he comes back. He wasn't able to get a booking today, but he did let Kristine know the date that he would like to come back to Owena. April 29. Heard the rain whenever I was awake during the night, but I was thankful to be snuggly warm in bed. Upon arising, I could feel how damp and chilly the air was; and the rain continued until mid-morning. Praise the Lord for a little sunshine off and on after that! What a busy morning it was! Ten phones were brought to be charged. That means ten people to come again later and take them away. At least five other people came to the door with other needs or requests. Erovi brought a popo which I was thankful to purchase for a little packet of salt and a chocolate wafer bar. Amongst the many times of running to the door, I did manage to squeeze in breakfast and quiet time and a little bit of crocheting. Afterward, I made the bed, folded Tuesday’s laundry, and did some cleaning out and reorganizing of the storage closet. After that I wrote a short e-mail and then sat down at my computer to do Exodus Bible study. Bible study time is always a refreshing time. For the rest of the relaxing part of the day, I worked on the English Revelation studies, completing chapter 7 this evening. Praise the Lord for His help and guidance with that. The best part of the day was the evening chat with my best earthly friend. “2) Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3) Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4) Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5) Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.” (Psalm 103:2-5) “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” (Psalm 55:22)
