January 31. It was wash day again, the last day I’ll get to wash and hang out the clothes myself for a while. Once school starts, I won’t have as much time so will put that work into the hands of my two female students. Praise the Lord for the opportunity to soak up some sunshine vitamin D and just enjoy being outside. Afterward, I got out clean bedding and made the bed up. Since Daniel wasn’t here yet, Daddy and I started measuring and cutting plywood for the cupboard. It wasn’t long before Daniel came, and the three of us worked together until noon. Then Daddy and I had our lunch. Daniel kept on working. After lunch, I went out and got the clothes down, and Daddy went back to helping Daniel. Then I had a nap while the two of them continued working. When I got up, we took the cupboard into the kitchen to mark where to put screws or nails for hanging it up. Then it went back to the meetings room for Daddy and Daniel to drill holes and get the nails/screws started. Then Daniel made the middle shelf and cut a piece of wood for the top. It was 3:00 by then, and we thought he would be tired and want to stop for today, but he wanted to go ahead and paint. We almost forgot about ladies’ meeting until we heard the bell so after Daniel sanded the unit, We put everything away and brought the benches and shelf unit into the schoolroom. Laid large flattened cardboard boxes underneath and put the old table cover on the benches, and he did the painting in there. It was after 6:00 before he finally finished painting. But he seems to like to paint. This afternoon. I put a coat of clear varnish on my most recent painting. Also printed out some verses for Mata for ladies’ meeting and then remembered that I had already printed them and given them to Bonita to take home and cut up. Put rice on to cook for my supper, and did just a little bit of work in Studies in Revelation until the rice was done and I needed to warm up Daddy’s supper. After supper, I did dishes right away and then put bath water on so I could have bath right away as we were expecting the three men to come and continue going through the translation of Matthew. “1In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. 2Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. 3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:” Isaiah 26:1-4 February 1. Prayer lotu this morning with Amos as overseer. After lotu, Sunny came and worked for a while — shelling peanuts, sweeping floors, and organizing plastic bags. Daniel was here putting a second coat of paint on the cupboard. I put a second coat of varnish on my painting; and by afternoon, it was ready to hang up with the lambs and other pictures. Also started curing the chalkboard in the meeting room. Had to wait until afternoon to do the one in the schoolroom as Daniel was busy painting in the schoolroom. Then I worked until lunch time making up a test for chapters 5 and 6 of the Revelation studies. Slept quite a long nap today so didn’t have time to do a whole lot this afternoon. Washed my hair first of all. Then hung up the picture noted above. Finished curing the meeting room chalkboard by erasing and washing it. Cured the schoolroom chalkboard too, but didn’t finish it until after supper. Had a little time to work more on the test for the Revelation lessons and also spent more time on that this evening. February 2. People were quite late for lotu today, and it was after 10:30 before the meeting was started. Daddy preached both meetings, completing the teaching on music. Then he opened things up for questions for a while. This afternoon, I made sure everything is ready for school to start tomorrow. Also spent some time revising the test I was working on recently and making it into two separate tests — one for chapter 5 and one for chapter 6. I was afraid that otherwise it would be rather overwhelming.
