September 14. So thankful for a good, long night’s rest. Never woke up until 2:00 a.m. Time to take another dose of amoxicillin before going back to bed. Slept in about a half hour this morning, and went back to bed again just before mid-morning. I had been sitting outside soaking up some sunshine (it was 50º this morning and very chilly in the house). The sun felt so good, but I kept getting sleepier and sleepier. As soon as I finished praying, I came back in and had another hour’s sleep. Actually felt much better after that. Eye pain has decreased and the eye doesn’t feel hot like it did yesterday. Still need to use the eye patch when I do eye work, especially at the computer. Both SIL and MAF came today — SIL to get a load of Danny’s coffee, and MAF to get men who are planning to go to a pastor’s conference in Moresby. Daddy talked with Tim a bit about the earthquake. He, too, thought it was amazing how little damage was done throughout the country considering the magnitude of the earthquake. He confirmed that no buildings fell at University Of Goroka, but one of the dorms did have a good amount of damage from things like light fixtures falling. Several students were injured and taken to the hospital, but nobody was killed. SIL suffered a lot of damage. Many things fell in the homes and in the store. After my nap, I got busy preparing veggies for soup for dinner but knew it wouldn’t be ready in time for noon. So we decided to have lunch at noon, and this afternoon, I will cook the soup ingredients and blend them up. Most of the afternoon was spent in the kitchen making lentil soup for supper. This evening, I started writing e-mails which need to be answered this week before missions conference at EBC, which starts next Wednesday. September 15. Another very cold morning — 51º. After Bible reading and a smoothie, I sat out in the sunshine to eat my cup of hot oat bran and pray. How good the sun felt! Yet how dry and thirsty the land is! Amos was busy taking apart the roof of his old house and burning piles of old kunai (tall tough grass sometimes used for making grass roofs). When I came back in, I read a chapter in II Kings. Thankful that my eye is feeling a good bit better today. It still has a ways to go before I give it full use however. Finished the e-mail to Elizabeth D and also wrote a short e-mail to Mrs. B today. This afternoon, I washed my hair and made tortillas.
