November 29. Warm all night, and dry and hot today. Up to 81º in the house this afternoon. The air has been extremely hazy, making us wonder if we may be going to have a period of drought. On the other hand, a lot of dark clouds have built up this evening. Will they bring rain, or will they be clouds without rain? We finished a lesson in Bible class today and the students will have a quiz on Monday. There is one more lesson left in John chapter 9. That should see us through if we finish early. Otherwise, I will need to decide on a short Bible lesson to teach after that. They had their science test today which finishes the science course for the year, and there is not time to do another unit in history. So I plan to use that extra class time to finish the spelling unit they have started. “Free” time this morning was spent getting dry ingredients together for lemon pancakes (using a lemon muffin recipe, but I don’t have muffin pans); getting lesson plans made for Monday; grading math lessons and science tests; proofreading Matyu. This afternoon, I did more proofreading of Matyu, got the students’ copy made for the next Bible lesson, and cooked the lemon pancakes. Enjoyed a couple of those with my supper. After supper, while dish water was heating, I printed the Bible lessons and the game plan for fun day. Later in the evening I worked on the studies in Revelation. November 30. Wow! Where has the year gone. Only one month left. The Lord gave us another dry day and a hot afternoon — up to 86º. But He did give us some wind today, which we hadn’t had for the past couple days, and also sent some sprinkles of rain this evening. Amos rang the bell early (6:00) for lotu, and people came early, and we finished early too. Tomas had charge of lotu this morning. The rest of the day, the village was pretty much deserted. David had said he was going to try to finish the fence today, but didn’t show up. This evening, he sent his boys up to get his tools and sent a note saying that his body was hurting too much today so he wasn’t able to come. Sunny did laundry after lotu Also swept the floors and burned the trash. I wrote a couple e-mails and looked for the book on good foods for the body that Connie had made up. Amos and Mata had asked after lotu for a list of what to eat to help their bodies be fit for the Lord’s service. I found the “book” in the file cabinet. It had all loose pages as it had not been bound into book form. There were too many pages to staple, but later I found a small ring binder that was just the right thickness, punched holes in the pages, and now we have a “book.” To go with leftovers for dinner, I cooked up one of the bunches of carrots Daddy had brought home from town. Thank the Lord for carrots. It was nice to have carrots for a change. We hadn’t been able to get any good carrots for a while. After lunch, we went out and brought the clothes in. Then I put a clean sheet on the bed, and we had our nap. Right after nap, I washed my hair. Then I had a fruit snack; practiced keyboard as the students want to sing tomorrow, and Daddy wants me to play a few songs with different moods when he teaches my music class on Monday; cleaned the keyboard as it was quite dusty; cut up a popo, cut up a couple tomatoes for supper; worked a bit on the studies in Revelation for next year’s Bible class. After supper and washing dishes, I worked more on Revelation while bath water was heating. Wrote in journal after bath and then continued with studies in Revelation. “5Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5,6 December 1. Very clear skies today. Hot and dry still and very little wind. An orange crescent moon this evening. Praise the Lord for His help today in playing for the students and for the students singing well. Thank the Lord too for helping Daddy with preaching too, and also Amos in the second meeting. “7Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8
