February 18. We wondered if it were going to be sunny or rainy today, but the sunshine finally won out. We were very thankful for the sunshine as Sunny had come and washed the clothes and hung them out to dry. She also prepared carrots and uxai* for our dinner and then swept the floors. Before she went home, she practiced keyboard. Bonita came this morning also and practiced computer for a while. Most of my time today was spent working on Bible lessons for YSCA. If I can get ahead on those, I’ll get them all printed out for the first term and try to get all the visuals and worksheets together for teaching. For dinner I made Spanish rice. There was quite a stack of dishes to wash this evening *Uxai – a very delicious vegetable of a somewhat mealy texture and with a taste somewhat reminiscent of corn. February 19. It was a warm night, and a warm morning. So nice to see the sunshine once the fog lifted. Daddy woke up with a fever this morning and was feeling somewhat weak. After breakfast and quiet time, I spent time on a study in Deuteronomy 13, and then tried to organize the SCMS files in a good order. Afterward, I went outside, soaked up a little sunshine, and trimmed dead leaves off the bird of paradise flowers. We saw at the Pacific Garden Hotel that their bird of paradise plants were eight or nine feet tall. Ours are only about half that size. Maybe they need more shade instead of full sun. While I was out, Matusa’s wife came along. It was good to see her. Then Nuandauro’s younger brother came by. He had come and stayed with his sister for the night. His name is Matin. Most of the rest of the day, I worked on the Bible lessons for school. This evening, Wenera and Nehemiah both called. February 20. It was a quiet day. The Lord sent us rain the first half of the morning. Then the sun shone, and it was warm the rest of the day. Most of my computer time today was spent working on Bible lessons. In the evening Mike came to talk and stayed a good while. He and his family are ready to go to Minj and serve the Lord alongside Wenera. They plan to divide out their gardens, coffee gardens, and other property to family members to take care of. Taqita and all the children are very excited about going too. He will begin by ministering in the elementary school and then other ministries in the church.
