January 8. Could still smell mold last night in the other bedroom, and it kept waking me up during the night. We just went out shopping for a half morning today—to Seng Da first to get a new battery for my phone. Picked up a couple grocery items while we were there. Then we went to West—Yida first to get more mayo. Also bought a whole box of Queen Emma dark chocolate bars—48 bars, which would be the equivalent of twelve large bars. Next we went to WanTok and got cheese, filleted chicken, tissues, and another skein of brown yarn. Was thankful for the opportunity to give out a few tracts to people sitting outside the store. Last stop was Food Link where Daddy had a cappuccino and a slice of chocolate cake at the coffee shop, and I had a cup of green tea with jasmine. We also made a couple purchases there before heading back to the house. They said a container has come in so they should have the shelves stocked with new items by Wednesday. They are not open on Saturday and Sunday. Shortly after we got back to the flat, we had a nice long Skype time with our two special daughters. Then I got out the skein of brown yarn we had gotten today and finished up the brown section of the afghan. Dinner was leftovers from yesterday’s meal at Pacific Garden. After dinner, I started writing in my journal, but got too sleepy so went for nap. Had a fairly long nap, but knew I was coming down with a bad sore throat and earaches. And I’d forgotten to pack the buffered aspirin and amoxicillin.. Daddy went out to buy some amoxicillin, and I started writing an e-mail while he was gone. Worked a little bit this evening on the next Revelation lesson. “14) Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” John 15:14-15 January 9. My day didn’t start quite as early this morning even though I went to bed early last night. Since I started coming down with a sore throat and earaches yesterday, I wasn’t feeling that well to warrant rising out of bed right away. Then I got slowed down when I discovered that my blouse had a button missing. Took the very top button off the blouse and sewed it in place of the missing one. Eventually, I was able to get to the kitchen and start getting breakfast ready. My heart was thankful this morning for a breakfast of apple and sesame pancakes, a welcome change from cereal. So glad we had bought a small bag of wholemeal flour yesterday. After breakfast, there was laundry to do, and we also spent a little time with Martha on Skype. Daddy did most of the talking as I was still feeling quite tired and having a hard time pulling thoughts out of a weary brain. Shortly after saying good-bye to Martha, we went out to do a little shopping. Bought a pack of another shade of brown yarn at Seng Da so I would have enough brown shades to finish the afghan I’ve been working on. We also found some Comet cleanser at a decent price. Then we went to market and bought bananas, carrots, and a popo. A quick stop at Papindo for things they didn’t have, but bought another litre of ice cream and a small pack of mocha cookies for Daddy. After we got back and had put a few things away, we had a cup of coffee and then got ready for lunch. Had quite a long nap—must have fallen sound asleep. Had a little time to crochet afterward and work a little on a Revelation lesson before preparing something for our supper—potatoes and yams, a veggie medley, and a beef gravy. Spent more time on Revelation lessons after supper, and later on I did dishes. There was quite a stack of them. “The Lord is... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 January 10. The day started with making pancakes. Am thankful for the bananas we bought at market yesterday as my pancakes always seem to taste best with a banana on them. Then I made an apple syrup today instead of popo syrup. In the afternoon, I cut up the popo that we also bought yesterday at the market. Read Bible while I was eating breakfast and had prayer time afterward. A little later, we Skyped Fran and Margaret and enjoyed talking with them. Then we went outside for some sunshine and exercise before listening to last Sunday’s service at VBC Lattimore. Slept quite a long nap again today. Have really been zonking out for some reason. What was left of the afternoon, I worked on the Revelation lesson. Thought I was finished with that lesson and had even written the study questions already. But chapter 19 in Revelation is quite short, and there are a lot of Old Testament passages that support it and give more detail. So again this evening, I worked on it for an hour and a half. Then I took a break and had a snack and did dishes. Afterward, we listened to another message from VBC.
