March 4. Very tired this evening after a whole morning out shopping, a meal to prepare this evening, and a days’ worth of dishes to wash. Had only a little bit of time, after nap this afternoon, to sit down at the computer and do a little Bible study in Deuteronomy. We enjoyed our chicken stew that I made for supper. It was a wee bit too salty since I had to use the table salt that was here as I didn’t bring enough sea salt with me. The table salt is obviously much saltier than the sea salt. Otherwise it tasted really good. Since that one pack of chicken breast fillet was the only chicken breast fillet that we could find anywhere in town, I used only half of it and put the other half in the freezer for later. This evening, Daddy installed the eco tank in my computer. Praise the Lord, I should now be able to do the printing from my own computer. “Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy….” (Revelation 15:4a) March 5. Started the day by putting a small load of laundry in the washing machine and then going to Bible reading and prayer. Made a couple popo fritters for my breakfast. Hung the clothes out in the breezeway. Had an enjoyable and edifying talk with Martha via Skype. Then Ben called for Daddy to come and pick up most of the tracts. Half of the flag tracts weren’t ready yet. So off we went to Kumul. Then we headed to Seng Da to get bread, but there was no whole wheat bread today. We did, however, get some more yarn and a couple umbrellas — a big one for ourselves, and a collapsible one for Anna Jean. We were going to get copy paper, too, but that section of the store was so busy, we waited and waited and still nobody came to wait on us. We also saw David upstairs and invited him to Mike’s ordination tomorrow. After Seng Da, we went to Stationery Works and got copy paper. Next stop was YuYu for a solar light for Mata’s mother. And last stop was the ATM machine. After we got back to the flat, we started heating up the chicken stew for our dinner when Mike called. He and his family had just arrived in West Goroka from Kainantu and needed someone to pick them up. So Daddy went and got them, and I ate my dinner. We talked a little while, and then Mike and Daddy went out to find some lunch for Mike and family and got some food at the Papindo Kai Bar near Papindo central. When they got back, we warmed up the rice for them, and Daddy warmed up his stew, and they all ate. It wasn’t long after that when Wenera showed up. He came down to be here for Mike’s ordination tomorrow. We are amazed at the discernment Wenera has gained since his salvation several years ago and are so thankful that he has a heart to serve the Lord. He hasn’t even been to Bible school, but has more knowledge of God’s Word than many who have. It was going on 4:00 when they all left to go to Philip’s place for the night. So we had a very late nap. March 6. What a busy morning! Wenera and Mike family decided they wanted to have the ordination service in the morning instead of in the afternoon. They said they would be ready around 9:00. So Daddy called David to let him know. David was here on time, but we waited still another hour before Wenera and Mike family arrived. It was time then to Skype C&C, but Daddy gave them a quick call to let them know it would be later. The ordination service was a blessing. Daddy had David open in prayer. Wenera and David each chose a song to sing. Wenera also sang a special. Then Daddy preached a message from Luke 9:57-62 on not putting your hand to the plow and looking back. We showed them one picture of an old-fashioned plow and one of a couple horses pulling a plow with a man steering it. Afterward, Daddy had Mike come for the laying on of hands, and David and Wenera with him as witnesses. Then Daddy presented him with the ordination certificate, followed by picture taking. It was around 11:25 when we finally called C&C. All our guests told them “hello.” I was busy trying to print a picture of the soldier and Bible logo for Wenera to use for their Christian school. Never could get it to print. Just kept getting a message saying that Publisher could not complete the operation. So then we just talked with Christy and Connie until a little after 12:30. Then we spent some time fellowshipping with everyone for another hour. So it was around 1:30 or so before we finally had our dinner, after 2:00 before we finally got a nap, and 4:00 before I got up. Before supper, I tried printing another publisher file from my computer, and got the same message. Then I transferred the logo pictures to a word file and had no problem printing it. Daddy tried printing a publisher file from his computer, too, and had no problem. Then Daddy did some trouble-shooting on the printing problem and learned that my computer is not the only one that has that problem with publisher. It is a Microsoft problem, and Microsoft has not been able to answer the problem.
