May 15. Last morning to sleep in. Well, I hadn’t really planned to sleep in, but was awake from about 4:45 for quite a while, having a hard time breathing because my nose was all stuffed up. Mike came while I was fixing breakfast. A little later, Mrs. Mike came, and the children came, plus a couple extra, and then Dallas came. They worked around the yard until a little after 12:00, cutting grass, weeding, digging ditches. The children helped by filling boxes with grass and weeds and taking the boxes outside the gate to dump them. When they were all done outside, Mike and Dallas filled up the firewood box. The children were excited to each get a chocolate wafer for their help. Daddy and I enjoyed our walk together up the airstrip and back. Then I got the newsletter set up in jpeg files and transferred to a flash drive to go to the ACER for e-mailing to the girls. This afternoon, I got them transferred to e-mail files with a short note and then wrote another e-mail which I put in draft until after the letter pages send off. The one in draft has all the acknowledgments to be added to newsletters for donors. Daddy tried sending the newsletter pages this evening, but no success. This evening, I added some seasonings to the rest of the kaukau and pumpkin and its broth and whipped that up for soup for our dinner the next couple days. Also printed out an attendance sheet and assignment sheet for MTP (Missionary Training Program) classes, and printed two copies of James through Jude which we will proofread after we finish Revelation. “Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 Oh, Lord, may your word set some hearts afire here in Owena and GIBC. May 16. The day started out clear and very cold. Down to 54º this morning. But the sun was shining, and the day soon warmed up. Early in the day, a strong breeze started blowing. Gusty winds blew the sheet up and around all the clothes on the line ahead of it, and the pillow cases and towels wrapped themselves together. The winds became quite cool by mid-afternoon. There was plenty to keep Sunny busy today — laundry first thing after lotu; then floors to sweep, buckets to refill, and Daddy’s shoes to clean. Then she left, but soon came back with a bunch of greens which I had her sort and prepare for cooking, along with an onion. Before she left, Oyaqava came with his wife and daughter (Nuka) and a huge stalk of bananas. We bought them all, but cut off less than half the stalk which Sunny helped us hang up to ripen for our own consumption. The rest of them are in a box which hopefully will keep the rats away for the night, and the bananas can go into the offering in the morning. In the midst of many interruptions, I finally managed to finish writing a section on studies in Revelation by the time early evening had arrived.
