March 22. The night was warmer and there was a little rain, but the Lord gave us a nice, sunny day. In Bible class, we finished the lesson on church service. Then we took extra time to go into the meeting room where the students could look around and see what needs to be cleaned and/or repaired. That left us with just a little over a half hour for music class today, but that was okay. The other was important and particularly in light of the message Daddy is preparing for Sunday. After school, the students sanded the chalkboard-to-be and put the first undercoat on it. After cleaning out the paint brushes, they went outside to see the sawhorse that Matthew had made for the men to use when they cut firewood. Then they ate bananas and went home. Still had a little time before lunch to work at the computer so did some checking of Hebrews, trying to get it ready for doing the final check together. Worked on it more this afternoon and again this evening, finishing chapter 10. Praise the Lord for His help. Around 4:15 this afternoon, Elias, Mike, and Judy came back and put a second coat of undercoat paint on the chalkboard. They had hoped to put the first coat of chalkboard paint on, but the undercoat was too thin on the bottom half of the chalkboard so really needed a second coat. The board also had to be sanded again first because it was quite rough for some reason. After they left, Daddy and I had supper. Then I worked on Hebrews again until I took a break to wash dishes and strain the boiled water and pour it into its jug. Back to finish what I had started in Hebrews. Then I wrote an e-mail. March 23. It was a foggy morning, but then the sun came out and it looked like it would be a nice day for washing clothes. After lotu, however, it started raining. But we had Anna Jean go ahead and wash the clothes; and before she was done, the sun was shining again. We praise the Lord for enough sunshine and wind to dry the clothes. After that, the weather turned cloudy and cold, with some rain later in the afternoon. Besides washing clothes, Anna Jean prepared a panful of uxai and a pot of yams and potatoes. Those will be for dinner tomorrow as there was still leftovers for today. Then she swept the floors and burned the trash. While she was doing those jobs, I had time to work at the computer. Printed out the next set of ladies’ lessons for Mata—6 lessons, and now I need to write some more for the future. Also typed and printed a paper for Esta from Marivo; printed the teacher’s copies of the next Bible lesson and music lesson so I could proofread them, make corrections, and get the students’ copies ready to print; and printed a sermon outline and corresponding Bible verses for Daddy to use in lotu tomorrow.. By then it was lunch time so warmed up the leftovers and we had lunch. Then we got the clothes in before having our nap. This afternoon, I cut Daddy’s hair, practiced keyboard, and finished getting the copies of students’ lessons ready for printing. It was already going on 5:00 when Elias, Anna Jean, and Judy came to put the first coat of blackboard paint on the chalkboard. It was about 5:30 when they left, and I still had to make something for my supper (had forgotten about making tortillas today). Threw a quarter cup of flour into a small bowl along with a few other little ingredients and quickly made a couple pancakes. Then we had supper. After cleaning up the kitchen, I sat down to print the students’ Bible and music lessons. Before I could get started, Neomi came along with some cucumbers to give us. She stayed a short while to talk, but then left because it was already getting dark out. After she left, I got the printing done, and punched holes in all the lesson papers so they are ready for Monday morning. Then I did the dishes. “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:28 By faith alone! Praise God! May our lives show forth our justification.
