February 19. The weather looked hopeful for a fair wash day when we got up this morning; but after several layers of fog came up from the river and disappeared, another layer came up and stayed the rest of the day, bringing rain and chilly air with it. The wood stove worked hard all day to keep the house warm. Still, I had my sweatshirt on all day and jacket with it about half the day. Sunny had already hung the laundry out before the rain started. Later, when the rain had slowed down for a while, I went out and brought them in and put them through the extractor again; and Daddy helped me hang them in the spare room. After breakfast, I put a clean sheet on the bed and made up the bed, did a little crocheting, wrote a couple e-mails, and started making corrections on our copies of Pidgin Matthew. After dinner Nuanda came by to get the letter and a photo copy of something he needed to take out to the Works Department. He and Amos family would be heading to Konkonbira for the funeral of a relative who was killed in a car accident. They left here between 1:00 and 1:30, but later in the afternoon returned to Owena because the rains had not let up and walking on the trails was very difficult. It was a bit late when we lay down for nap, and it was a little after 3:00 when I got up. I finished up the afternoon by making the rest of the corrections in Matyu (Matthew). This evening, I made a fresh batch of kefir and made a typed copy of the letter that Nuanda will be taking to the Works Department. I did not accomplish everything today that I would have liked, but the day was busy enough. February 20. Praise the Lord for sunshine today after so much rain! It was very refreshing to get outside for a while for fresh air, exercise, and sunshine. We didn’t go far from the house because the earth is still very sloshy. Before we went outside, I had done a little crocheting; and after we came back in, I made the bed while the computer was warming up. Was nearly done with Bible study and ready to start proofreading the next Revelation lesson for school when Apekio came to the door with kaukau and uxai. It had been a long time since we had seen her, so I invited her to sit down for a while. When she left, I went back to proofreading until dinner time. This afternoon, I washed my hair and finished up the proofreading. And this evening, I printed out the teacher’s copy of the lesson and made blanks for the students’ copy. Will need to print those tomorrow. February 21. Praise the Lord for answered prayer in giving us sunshine again. It was a blessing to be able to go out for a walk and enjoy the sunshine, fresh air, and exercise. After breakfast and quiet time this morning, I crocheted another afghan hexagon and gave more time to prayer too. I didn’t have to stop and untangle yarn this time so was able to finish a whole hexagon in one sitting. After that, I made kefir, and after our walk, I made the bed, did a little Bible study, proofread and added to the last two “world view” lessons. This afternoon, I printed the world view lessons, students’ copies of the next Revelation lesson, and students’ copies of the Sios I Gat Glori question booklet. Daddy helped me collate the question booklet, and I got those stapled and put with the reading books for that course. Tomorrow, I’ll punch holes in the other lessons, collate them, and put them in the students’ notebooks. After doing that job, I cut Daddy’s hair. This evening, I worked on elder/deacon lessons.
