June 15. Not quite as cold this morning, but still down to 55º. There was a layer of fog down in the valley, but I could tell it was not the kind that comes up and covers the world around us. It was thin, and I could see through it here and there. Little patches would break off and come part way into the Owena valley and then disappear. By the time Daddy left Goroka (around 8:30) all the fog was gone. Until I heard the plane coming, I sat out in the sunshine to pray and get warm. Sunny was not here as she usually is when the plane comes. Will need to call her and find out if she is okay. Mike and Nehemiah helped take care of the cargo, and Mike’s landlord, Peter, was with him. It was nice to see Mike and Taqita, and we look forward to a longer visit with them later. It didn’t take long for Daddy and me to get everything put away. We even had a little time to relax before dinner which was a small cup of greens soup and a meat pie each. This afternoon, I got e-mails, updates, and journal notes transferred to Daddy’s computer. Called Sunny to see if she was okay. She had helped carry Philip’s coffee up the mountain and was just on her way back when I called her. She was fine except for her knees. Her father had helped carry Anevina’s coffee, and Junias helped carry Wenke’s. She said she would be down the hill soon and would come see us. And she did. This evening we were both quite tired, so I didn’t work on anything at the computer. Just did some coloring of outreach pictures. June 16. 56º this morning, but chilly because there was a cloud over the sunrise for two hours or so. Daddy eventually started a fire in the wood stove because the house was damp and cold and there was no sunshine outside to warm our bodies. Finally, the cloud cleared away, and I went out and sat in the sunshine about a half hour. After coming inside, I started a Bible study in I Samuel. It was going on mid-morning when I made a cup of coffee. Daddy wanted to go out for a walk as soon as I finished drinking that. Then I would have something else to eat after we got back as all I’d had for breakfast was a smoothie. Before we could get on our way, however, Mike and Taqita came by to spend a little time with us. They stayed and stayed until well after 12:00 so I never did have something else to eat; neither did I get to make spaghetti for dinner as I had planned or make tortillas for my evening lunches. But we enjoyed our visit with Mike and Taqita. The time just went by too quickly. Since it was already late, we decided to have lunch at noon and make spaghetti later for supper. I just used a couple vita-wheat crackers instead of tortillas. Hopefully, I will have a chance to make tortillas tomorrow. After nap, I finished my Bible study I had started in the morning. Then it was just about time to start supper. Peeled and cut up some kaukau (sweet potato) and potatoes first. Once I got the taters and kaukau going, I put water on for spaghetti and made the meat sauce. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (I Corinthians 15:57)
