July 12. Did not get much sleep last night. It was 11:00 before we got to bed. About 2:30, I woke up with severe acid reflux. On top of that, a mosquito kept buzzing across my face. I think it must have bitten me on the eyelid, as my eyelid itched for a good while. Finally fell back into a fitful sleep sometime in the early morning. Was awake a little after 6:00, however, still feeling quite uncomfortable from the acid reflux. The three men came around 7:30 yesterday evening, and we talked together until almost 10:00 before having prayer. It was a heart-breaking discussion and it was difficult to make proper decisions. In the night watches, the Lord showed both Daddy and me a proper Biblical way for the men to make and carry out their decisions. This morning, I felt very tired and light-headed. I was thankful that Judy was here. She came to fill up the washing machine; and at the same time, Daina came with a large bunch of greens. Judy very willingly agreed to prepare the greens for me. A little later, Amos came by at Daddy’s request, and Daddy shared with him what the Lord had showed us. Amos shared that the Lord had brought to his attention the story of Joshua and Caleb and how they stood alone among the other ten spies and the children of Israel and were not afraid to face the enemy. They knew that God was with them and would surely keep His promises. He also told us that one of the visiting pastors had invited him to come and speak at a new church in Goroka area that does not yet have a pastor. After that, and this evening, I turned on the Lenovo and looked over the Libre Office and found that it is set up quite differently from Microsoft Office so needed to make some revisions in the computer lessons. Then, after proofreading and making corrections, I printed out the first four pages for teacher and for student. “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” (Psalm 5:3) “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.” (Psalm 143:8) July 13. This morning, Judy came to do laundry. Then she had her first computer lesson. It was somewhat lengthy, but was actually just a brief introduction to the computer and how it works. While she was here, Elise came to bring Dallas’s report card. She said that Dallas and Nehemiah are on their way to town (somewhere outside of Kainantu). They too had been asked by a pastor to come to his church. He would like Dallas to teach music to the youth and Nehemiah to teach them other things. Praise the Lord for opening up opportunities for these mission graduates to get some experience. After Judy left, I went outside for a few minutes to try to get some sunshine, but a cold wind came up, and it looks like it may rain. Came back inside and did a little Bible study in Exodus and wrote a bit in my journal. Then I took the last three very ripe bananas and made some muffins so I will have something healthy for snacks. This afternoon, I finished up the next computer lesson — teachers copy plus student’s copy. Now it is ready for printing. Also sliced more rolls into bread thickness pieces. Each roll is so big, it makes four to five somewhat thick slices, and plenty large enough for sandwiches. This evening, I painted and finished all the grass on the mountainside.
