February 24. Rain yesterday evening, some during the night, and more rain this morning. No sunshine today. Just fog everywhere. It was colder than usual when we went to bed last night and still cold this morning. Daddy did start a fire in the woodstove. He was saving the firewood for a day like today as we are running short, and there hasn’t been anyone around to cut firewood for us. Amos came around this morning, and said they got back from Konkonbira around 6:00 yesterday evening. So we thought we’d be able to have classes today. Daddy sent word to Mike, and we hoped that Dallas would get word somehow wherever he is. This morning, right after breakfast, I refreshed the kefir and scrubbed some kaukau to put into the woodstove oven to bake. Then I did a little crocheting, made the bed, and wrote a couple short e-mails. Enjoyed a kaukau for snack. This afternoon and evening, I worked on the elder-deacon lessons. We ended up not having school after all. Amos and Mata came; but Bonita had a stick go into her foot, and it is swollen so she didn’t come. Mike came, but not Taqita, and there was no sign of Dallas and Elise. We talked together with the three for a good while before they left. It appears that there is a big need for laborers in Konkonbira. The people there did not want anyone to do any kind of preaching or sharing of the gospel at the funeral. The place is full of wickedness. Amos said there were two others killed in the same car crash as that man, two young ladies who had just registered for school at Aiyura National High School and were going into town to get some things they needed. One was from Wabag and one from Hagen. The owner of the Dina had large compensation to pay for each of those three deaths; and the man he hired to drive the vehicle was beat up quite badly. He was not only driving drunk, but still had a bottle of beer in his pocket. This evening, I also got two weeks of journal notes ready to go to Connie. “2) And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3) And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.” Genesis 39:2-3 A familiar passage, but a good reminder that God is always with His children and cares for them; and it is possible to live a holy life and to have victory over temptation no matter what the circumstances. February 25. Quite chilly this morning, but the Lord brought us some sunshine to warm up the day a bit. There were still a good bit of cool winds. I didn’t do much at the computer today other than write in my journal and do some Bible study. My eye has been hot and irritated. Am thankful for Nason sending some special eye drops up from the health center and trust they will take care of the problem. Besides making the bed and folding Tuesday’s laundry, I spent my time crocheting. It is a project that can be done without continually looking at the work. We did have school today, praise the Lord! Everyone was here eventually. My eye was feeling a bit better this evening so I worked on the elder/deacon lessons. Praise the Lord, that course is now complete. Some Greeks came to Philip “and desired him, saying, Sir we would see Jesus.” John 12:21 People want to see Jesus. People need to see Jesus. Jesus is not here in a visible form today so how is it possible for others to see Him? They can only see Him in the lives of Christians, in the lives of His followers, in the lives of those who let His light shine through them. Jesus said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
