March 8. The weather today has been pretty much like yesterday’s weather. There must have been some rain during the night as the windows were wet this morning. A relatively quiet day. After breakfast, I did hear someone calling out an announcement to the village. A man was going by the house as I opened the window to try to hear, and he said they were calling people to cut the grass on the airstrip. Finished an afghan hexagon that I started last night. Wrote an e-mail. Talked with Pastor Nuanda. He was heading up to the airstrip to talk to the men to get their input about a matter. Put a pot of rice and soup beans on to cook for dinner. After it started boiling, I went out in the fresh air for a while and pulled some weeds. After dinner, I started getting journal notes ready to send to Connie. Finished them up after nap. Then I did the past two days’ dishes. There was getting to be quite a pile of them so decided to do them this afternoon instead of waiting until evening. Light rain started late this afternoon. This evening, I enjoyed my chat with Daddy. I always look forward to hearing his voice. Also did some work on the “Ready” lessons for SCMS. March 9. The rain must have lasted the whole night; but the fog wasn’t as thick this morning, and it rose quickly. I was delighted and thankful for the warm sunshine. Water was barely coming this morning so I mentioned it to Danny when he brought his phone. He said he would look and see if anything were cut or broken or taken apart and would let Tomas know. A little later Tomas came to get his phone he had left here for charging yesterday evening, so I asked him if the water were coming through good at his house. He said it was, but he would check between there and here. It wasn’t long after he left before the water started coming good again. A little later, Nendisa came by. Her father had sent her up to check and see if I were getting water okay. (Amos family were at the house most of the morning so apparently are done picking coffee or are doing something different today.) I was outside soaking up some sunshine when Danny came by to get his phone. He said he hadn’t seen any problem along the pipeline so hadn't said anything to Tomas. I told him that was okay as Tomas had come by and I had asked him to check. Either he had fixed it or it had fixed itself. Either way, I was thankful that it was fixed. When the water started coming good again, I filled the washing machine, ready to wash clothes tomorrow morning. Yesterday evening, I finished taking the hem out of a dress that I had hemmed too short, and this morning, I started sewing the new hem. After that, I went outside, straightened some flowers, and pulled a few weeds. Came back in and got Danny his phone. Discovered four bulbs that someone had put inside the fence and asked Danny what they were. All he could tell me is that they are really nice flowers; plant them and they’ll grow. So that’s what I did. Since the ground was nice and soft after the rain, I just made some holes with a stick and stuck each bulb in a hole. So we’ll wait and see what comes up. When I came back inside, I wrote an e-mail to C&C, attached journal notes, and tried to send it. Since there were 9 e-mails at 1.44 MB coming in, it didn’t send. Three of the e-mails came in, and then connection was lost. Decided to go get my dinner. Oh, yes, the rest of the popo needed to be cut up. I had cut some out of it to use in a smoothie for my breakfast and left the rest to take care of later. Got out a container, cut up the popo, and put it away in the fridge. Got out the leftovers and warmed up some dinner. Then I took my dinner to the spare room where the ACER is set up and, praise the Lord, He gave a good connection. In just a few minutes, the other six e-mails at 1.39 MB came in and the one that I wrote went out. Relaxed and did a little crocheting before settling down for a nap. This afternoon and evening, I worked on the “Ready” lessons. I also crocheted another afghan hexagon and talked with somebody I dearly love.
