June 29. It was late morning before I got a chance to make the bed or read a portion in I Samuel. Had to make more pancakes for breakfast as I only had one left. Was able to read John 15 in Pidgin while cooking the pancakes, and also have some time for prayer while cooking and eating. Have prayed off and on throughout the morning as my heart is heavily burdened for the work here in Owena. We were encouraged by a visit from Mike and Rex for a good portion of the morning, but so saddened to hear how “N” continues to fight against God and His work. We appreciated the testimonies of these two and were blessed to hear how God is providing for them in spite of no support from their church. After Daddy, Mike, and Rex prayed, Mike and Rex left. Then I started on the day’s work — getting ingredients in a pot for a rice medley for dinner, making the bed, folding part of yesterday’s laundry, finishing yesterday’s journal notes. Then we had dinner, and shortly after that, nap. Nehemiah had not come to see us for a couple days; and we wondered if he were discouraged or what. He did come to SCMS today, and we were thankful to see him. We learned that he had been sleeping and treating a bad headache from the late nights out. He went Saturday to do public preaching in Pinata. Sunday morning he went to preach at Waisara. Then Nehemiah preached Sunday night and Tuesday night at Nueri’s funeral. June 30. 2022 is half gone. Time for the Lord’s return is closer than it was before. The weather remains mostly chilly and dry. Early this morning, MAF came in, bringing Kelly and a box of medicine for a patrol*. Glennys also said that if the airstrip weren’t cut completely from top to bottom and from side to side, they would close the airstrip. Just about dinner time, Apekio brought some kaukau and greens from her garden. She said the new kaukau gardens are ready and people have plenty of kaukau nau. She still hasn’t found any bananas at market. It has been a week or more since we have had any bananas. We really miss bananas. Haven’t had any popo for about a week either. Apekio seemed to want to talk today so we sat and chatted together a half hour or so. Thus we ate dinner about a half hour later than usual, and it was already nap time when we finished eating. (The gardens in Owena are not producing well due to drought. Please pray for a good balance of rain and sunshine. Thanks.) First thing this morning, I finished the e-mail I had started two days ago to C&C. Daddy didn’t have any success in sending it, however. Later I set up a couple weeks’ worth of journal notes as I realized I was getting behind. Put both journal notes and Revelation 20 study on flash drive to transfer to Lewis’s outlook. This evening, besides teaching class, I colored a couple outreach pictures. *Patrol – usually refers to a medical team that goes from village to village treating wounds and sicknesses. This is helpful for those who find it hard to walk long distances to receive medical care.
