October 5. The Lord gave us a dry season morning and a rainy season evening. Matthew came early this morning to tell Daddy that the men were planning to tear down the meeting room today. It was 9:00 before they got started. They decided they had to take the roof off first in order to move the wall in. Then they decided they would have to redo the whole wall because it was too hard to move the wall in. Since they were going to redo the whole wall, We asked them to put the spaces for the door and windows in different places. Since there was no school, Daddy and I did some destruction and construction too. First, we took apart the old school cupboard that was made with scraps of plywood pieced together. It had already been taken off the wall and just needed to be taken apart. Then Daddy started making a battery pack for the CD player, and I started making a stand for the AquaRain (water filter). Daddy helped with sawing, pulling some nails out of the pieces of wood I needed to use, and nailing the frame to the floor. I also got three e-mails ready to go to C&C—one was a forward with the invoice for the printer, the other a pdf copy of the invoice, and the other journal notes. Daddy tried a couple times during the day to send them, but maybe the weather was too sunny. They sent right out this evening when it was rainy. 😊 Dallas came in to talk a while before I had finished getting the third e-mail ready. He has been sick again the past few days with the same sickness. He said he had also had it in December. Then Thomas came in for something, I forget what, and saw that Daddy was trying to make a battery pack. He had some good suggestions and wanted to help. He loves doing projects like that. He had to go back and help the other GBC people first, but came back later and finished making the battery pack. Daddy had his nap first this afternoon, and I stayed up in case the men needed nails or something. Crocheting was the easiest thing to do when tired so that’s what I did until Daddy got up. Then I had my nap. Afterward, I worked on the September progress report and finished it early this evening. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 No condemnation! No verdict pronouncing us guilty! Free from condemnation! What a precious promise! October 6. Another day of no school. And another day when the GBC men worked all day. So it appears that there won’t be school tomorrow either. In between all the interruptions (going back and forth to answer questions and check things out) most of my day was spent getting the Bible outline lessons perfected and completed. Hopefully everything is organized correctly now. I will just have to proofread before I do any printing. Also spent a frustrating hour (almost) printing out the last lesson in the first Revelation file. The file must have something wrong with it as it takes forever for Publisher to respond each time I tell it to print a page or several pages. So I’m thankful that all of that first file is now printed. I just need to punch holes and get the papers ready to go in the students’ notebooks. In the evening Mike came to see how things were going and how we were doing. Shortly after he came, Nuanda came also to see how we were doing. They were both concerned about the pitpit* wall being exposed with no outer bamboo wall as the house is much more vulnerable with the pitpit wall and also the lack of a strong lock on the inner door. Nuanda said he would talk to his church tomorrow about coming to help so we can get the job done. Mike decided that he would go home and get his “bed” and blankets and come sleep here for the night. *Pitpit – a small reed. It can be broken down, flattened, and woven like bamboo but is not as strong and stable. It does make good inside walls.
