January 24. Woke up to fog, followed by a light rain. However, the Lord sent us sunshine after a while, and it turned out to be a lovely day for hanging out clothes. So laundry was the first order of business for the day. While I was hanging clothes, Daniel came with some poles and got busy making a ladder. After I went inside, Mata came to talk about the ladies’ meeting lessons. Then I printed out some different verses for her to go with the lesson she had already prepared. Then I got out my gloss acrylic white paint and touched up a few spots in the schoolroom that didn’t get covered well yesterday. When Daniel finished making the ladder he came inside and started painting the undercoat where Daddy left off the other day. I found some small pieces of wood for making a couple bookends for the schoolroom. Lewis trimmed off the ends of the two flat thin pieces, but the two main pieces were just right already. I got all the pieces sanded down, and Daddy nailed a flat piece to the bottom edge of each one. Warmed up dinner and the three of us sat down to eat together. Then I went out and got the clothes in while Daddy helped Daniel to get back to painting, now with the roller. Daniel had finished around the edges before we had dinner. I put some undercoat on the bookends and left them to dry. Now I needed to put my feet up because I couldn’t take a nap yet with Daniel working in the bedroom. So I got out a chair and a pillow for my legs and sat on the rocker with my feet up and the computer on my lap. First Daddy and I talked over the town schedule for the first half of 2020 so I could schedule a two-week holiday in the middle of the school year to go to town with him. Then I did a little work on the next ladies’ meeting lesson and then wrote some in journal. After Daniel finished the south wall, we decided that was enough for today as I was getting pretty tired. It was already 3:00. So he and Daddy got busy cleaning up things, and I went ahead and lay down for nap. A few minutes after I lay down, we could hear a thunder storm brewing, and soon the rain was pounding fiercely on the roof. So Daniel stayed until the rain slowed down, I guess, and then Daddy gave him a piece of plastic to cover himself so he could go home. It was 4:00 when I got up. Started rearranging the school schedule in the computer. It was soon time to get supper on the table. Then there were dishes to do. After that, I painted the bookends with swirls of yellow, red, blue, and green. Then I started proofreading the 20/20 lessons to teach in Bible class the first week of school. Now that part is all ready to print. Amos, Matthew, and Nuanda are here this evening working with Daddy on checking the translation of Matthew. January 25. Daddy said we had a lot of rain during the night, but I never heard it at all. I could tell by looking out the window this morning, however, that he was right. We praise the Lord for a nice, sunny, dry day. We are praying that it will stay nice overnight and tomorrow for the baptismal service. The two churches are planning to hold their baptismal services in the same place at the same time. It was after 7:30 before prayer lotu started this morning, and it started with only a handful of people. But there were many, many prayer requests, taking up about an hour of time, and quite a few people had come in before the actual prayer time. Then they stayed around and spent quite a bit of time talking afterward. Daniel stayed and finished putting the undercoat paint on the other bedroom wall today. We asked Bonita to come and do a little work too — prepare greens, sweep the floors, and sort out plastic bags. It was after 12:30 when Daniel left and we had our dinner. And it was 2:00 before we finally got settled down for nap. While Bonita was working this morning, I finished putting together the bookends for the schoolroom, organized my school lesson notebooks, started getting things together that the students will need, and setting up the bookshelf and other shelves in the schoolroom. Didn’t wake up from nap until 3:30. Then I cut up a popo for our snack, washed my hair, and gathered the trash together and took it out and burned it. Made a couple changes in lesson plans for the first day of school and then got supper on the table. After supper, I did the dishes, took a bath, wrote a note to Pastor Ogle with December progress report attached, worked on a music lesson for the first day of school. Later Mike came to get his things from town.
