November 22. It is 9:00 p.m. already. It has been quite a day. Praise the Lord for lovely weather again and a good day for plane flights. Praise the Lord for His help with school this morning. The plane arrived just about 1:00, when the students were about done with school. I dismissed them to go help Daddy, but they came back and finished up their science lesson anyway. By the time the plane arrived, I was very hungry. Hadn’t had anything to eat since early morning. The only thing I could think of to eat was tuna so mixed up some tuna with mayonnaise, cut a few slices of cucumber, and got out the rye crackers to make “sandwiches.” Before I got a chance to eat anything, however, people came with cargo. Then Daddy came. I did have a chance to eat one tuna cracker sandwich while Daddy was teaching Amos how to change the gas bottle, and then ate another when Daddy sat down for dinner. After he ate his tuna sandwich, I finished up the rest of the tuna because I was still hungry. In between eating tuna crackers, I unloaded the fridge and freezer items from their boxes and loaded up the freezer. It was 3:00 before we finally got settled down for nap. Got up around 3:45 and got right down to business preparing a meal. What a blessing to have the use of the gas stove again! It is hard to cook a meal on the wood stove, especially since the smoke bothers my eyes so much. Please continue to pray that Mom and Dad can get solar power where they are. That will help so much with constant supply of power. Even though it costs a lot to install, it will also help them not to put out so much money each month. Also, there won't be so much constant upkeep on the generator. Thank you so much for praying. For supper, I washed yams, sweet potatoes, and potatoes; peeled them, and cut them up into small pieces. Put all in the Dutch oven and covered with water, ready to cook. Then I husked and cut up the uxai into the large frypan, and washed, peeled and cut up a small pumpkin which I added to the uxai. Started those two things cooking and then got out an onion and a chunk of ground beef and heated up a pan to brown those. While those were browning, I prepared a brown flour mix for gravy to go with the meat. When the root veggies were done cooking, I added, butter, milk, salt and pepper, and mashed up that mixture. Supper was finally ready to eat around 5:30. There was a lot of kitchen cleanup to do after supper, and there were still grocery items to put away. The foot locker needed to be reorganized so all the cereals, crackers, cookies, and other grain items could be stored in it. After putting the groceries away, I put water on to heat for dishes. And while I was washing dishes, we had water on heating for bath. I was very grateful for a bath this evening. After bath, I looked at the Christmas sale catalog from Brian Bell, read some articles on CCM that Daddy had found on the web while he was in town, and then came to the computer to write in my journal. November 23. Today was another dry day, but very chilly. It was a pretty busy day again too, but not quite as much on my feet as yesterday. First after breakfast was lotu. Then Sunny did the laundry and swept the floors, and I started an e-mail to Christy and Connie. Had to quit when the battery went low shortly after the generator was turned off. Most of the rest of the morning, I worked on the science test for unit 2 which the students will probably take some time this coming week, and also worked on the study notes for them to study from. Never did get around to grading their spelling quizzes or writing lesson plans for Monday. After dinner, Daddy and I got the clothes in and then had a nap. And after nap, I cut up a popo, washed my hair, had a snack, finished the science study notes and test, sorted and washed a small bunch of greens, cut up a tomato for supper sandwiches. Then we ate supper, and afterward I cut up the greens and put them on to cook, washed the dishes, looked through the box that had come from C&C, and finished writing the e-mail to C&C. Then Daddy sent the e-mail, and praise the Lord, they went right out. While he was doing that, I reformatted the notes he got from the web on CCM and then printed them out for him. He is preparing to teach the school students and also do more preaching on this subject. The music that is coming into the village now is so bad. Also put the last two income reports in a word file and got those ready to be e-mailed. Nuanda came this evening to talk with Daddy. He has finished checking Matyu, praise the Lord! And Daddy wanted to talk with him about our preparing to start MTP (Missionary Training Program) and also about the coming teaching on music. “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” Proverbs 24:10
