February 5. A cool overcast day with rain the first part of the morning. Back to school today. Anna Jean came to be my helper. Gideon was late, but I hadn’t let them know that we would be starting five minutes earlier. Gideon and Cornelius did well, but I can see that Lawrence is going to have the same troubles he had when he was in first grade. The afternoon and evening were busy going over lessons for tomorrow, making up some math practice pages and printing them along with some word and phrase flash cards, cutting up the pages of flash cards, re-proofreading the progress report after Daddy proofread it and making some additional corrections, having devotions together which included proofreading a chapter of Pidgin Genesis, printing out a sermon outline for Daddy. February 6. Another cloudy day with bits of rain and bits of sunshine. The clothes got partly dry outside and then had to be hung in the house to finish drying. The morning was spent teaching; and in the afternoon, I took down some of the clothes, folded them, and put them away; wrote lessons on the chalkboard and lesson plans in my notebook. I was having a hard time, however, thinking of ideas for continuing review of phonics. February 7. We went to bed under a starry sky; but long before morning, rain was falling from the stars. :-) Rain continued into the morning, and we wondered if anyone would show up for lotu (church meeting). Praise the Lord for the few who came. Phinehas led the singing and prayer time. I was delighted to see Phinehas’s interest in taking notes so I made sure he had a good piece of paper and my clipboard to help him. Daddy taught this morning on the first qualification for an elder (or bishop) - desire: “If any man desire the office.” After lotu, the men had a lengthy discussion about the difficulties of outreach and whether to or how to continue in that ministry. Daddy encouraged them to let God lead and not to let the devil use his tricks to hinder God’s work. The men (Mike, Dallas, and Amos) did decide to go on to Tainaraba today. Wan came, and he worked on the meeting room, blocking off the big spaces below the roof on the west side to keep rain and wind from blowing in. Phinehas stayed and worked on the back gate, replacing rotten parts and putting on stronger hinges. There was no school today, but I was busy in the kitchen most of the morning before and after lotu — having my Wednesday morning tea and quiet time before lotu and breakfast afterward; then getting ingredients together to cook and add to the pumpkin to make soup for dinner. There was a little time in between to work on lesson plans for the next couple days. Gave more time to that this afternoon. This evening, I finished up some school materials that needed to be printed, and printed them out before our devotional time together.
