August 23. Thank you, Lord, for giving us another dry day. In Bible class, the students wrote the good copy of their testimonies this morning. While they were working on that, I sanded down the desk extension that Daniel had built in the office and then covered the desk with a piece of floor mat. I let the students go overtime, into music class time, so they could finish their testimonies. Then I asked for two volunteers to give their testimonies in class a week from today. Right after that, we practiced a couple songs that the students would like to sing on Sunday “Happy I Am His” and “I’m Going to Work.” We had time to sing a couple more short songs after that before recess. They finished up their math lesson after recess. There was still time left for math class, but we didn’t start a new lesson today. We just went right to English class. That way they would have more time to do their history test. History test was the last thing on the schedule for the day, and for the week. After school, Anna Jean filled up the washing machine so it is ready for her to wash clothes in the morning; Mike and Dallas pumped diesel into the small drum and also put diesel in the generator; and Dallas chopped up some small pieces of firewood for kindling. While they were doing that, I graded the history tests. After nap, I wrote Monday’s lesson plans and put some math exercises on the chalkboard. Then I did the final proofreading of the August newsletter and made jpeg copies to send to Christy. This evening, I wrote an e-mail to C&C and attached the newsletter, but Digicel is having a hard time getting it off into space. August 24. Praise the Lord for another nice day. Slept in a little bit late this morning so didn’t get to have breakfast until after lotu. Lotu actually started quite a bit earlier than usual. I guess folks wanted to get an early start so they could go off sooner to do other work. After lotu, Sunny did the laundry and swept the floors; Mike and Dallas chopped firewood; and Elise did some weeding. I finished my prayer time and then worked in the ACER, changing the Bible lessons for school from publisher to word. Afterward Lewis and I went for a nice stretch out in the fresh air and sunshine. At the top of the airstrip, we met up with Opo and talked with him until smoke from fires started filling the air and aggravating my eye. My eye has been so irritated today from all the fires burning up the mountains and creating tons of smoke, so I haven’t been able to use my eyes much for computer work. After dinner, Daddy and I went out and brought the clothes in; then made the bed and had a nap. This afternoon, I proofread the Bible lesson that I had changed to a word file. Then I transferred it to a flash drive to be printed later from Daddy’s computer. After that, I worked in the kitchen until supper time, making sweet potato soup. This evening, I practiced keyboard first of all so I’ll be ready to play for the students to sing in lotu in the morning. Then I did the dishes. Afterward, I printed the Bible lessons. Then Eric came to bring his phone to be charged so we had him help us hang up the bunch of bananas that we bought yesterday evening. We had hidden them in the cupboard under the sink out of sight of the rats for the night and forgot about them. After that, I folded and put away today’s laundry, and then wrote journal notes. We’ve been trying and trying to send the newsletter off to the girls for printing and mailing, but cannot get a good connection.
