June 22. Last night, after the Lenovo was charged, I turned it on for a while to see what can be done with it. To my great surprise and delight, all the files that I thought had been removed are still in the computer. I have lots of picture files in there so spent about a half hour looking through all the pictures. When I got up this morning, the temperature was the same as it was at 5:00 yesterday afternoon—60º. And the same as it was when I went to bed last night—60º. And the same as it was in the middle of the night—60º. So I didn’t light a fire in the woodstove. I thought, if it gets cloudy and rainy again this afternoon with cold winds, I’ll light the fire in the afternoon. (I wished I had had the wood stove going the last couple evenings.) However, I never needed to light the fire. The day stayed warm, and it was even warm into the evening. After breakfast and quiet time this morning, I got busy doing more spring cleaning, concentrating mostly on the office today. Then I went outside in the sunshine for a while and trimmed dead leaves and dead stems off some flower plants. Worked at computer for the rest of the morning, adding questions to lesson 10 of the Revelation studies. This afternoon, I did a little bit of painting and cleaned the bathroom sink and toilet. Then I finished up the questions for the Revelation lesson and started on another lesson on the qualifications of pastors. This evening, after a nice chat with Daddy, I decided to start a new Revelation file as there was already 100 pages in the original file, and that seemed to be causing slow progress on further work. Transferred chapter 10 to the new file as that begins a new section of study. When I got too tired to do more computer work, I worked on crocheting before bedtime. “…Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:14 June 23. The night was warm, and it only got down to 58º overnight. I didn’t start a fire, but guess I could have, as the fog and clouds hung around for a long time, and it didn’t warm up to above 70º outside until mid-morning. But I kept busy so was warm enough. First thing after breakfast and quiet time, I started hand-washing a load of clothes. Mark and his family came early with firewood so I went out to greet them. While I was out there, Betty and Timothy came by so was able to check with Timothy about the items he wants Daddy to get for him in town. Other people came to the door so the wash didn’t get done too quickly. Nuanda brought back the Hebrew New Testament he had borrowed. He said that the church has decided to support the printing of the Hebrew New Testament as well as to be prepared to support any members that go out as missionaries. He said he counted about 350 adults at the missions conference. He did not count the children. And there were eleven people saved. He was quite pleased and excited about the results of the meetings. One of Matthew’s girls came to the door with avocados to sell. I was thankful to get something else nutritious to eat. Also put the computer on to charge as the battery had gone fairly low last night. Finally got the wash finished and hung out. Said good morning to Severah’s two boys as they went by. Then I came in and had a cup of coffee and a snack before sitting down at the computer. Around 10:30, I went to the kitchen to prepare some kaukau and pumpkin for dinner. Was nearly done when I heard little sounds of rain on the roof. Oh, oh! I hurried outside and brought in the clothes that were on the line. Set them in the schoolroom until I had gotten the pumpkin and kaukau into the oven. Then went and hung up the clothes in the schoolroom. Spent some time after that on the lessons on church leadership until dinner was ready. After nap, my time was spent painting until almost 5:00. It’s so easy to get so absorbed in painting that one doesn’t realize how fast the time is passing. This evening, I did a little more work on the elder/deacon lessons, spent about 45 minutes talking with my best friend via phone (that is, Daddy who was in town shopping), listened to a music CD while I was crocheting.
