January 13. Was awakened by loud, detestable “music” this morning although I didn’t get up right away. The body wasn’t quite awake enough to clamber out of bed. I was thankful to have slept fairly well without clear lungs and ibuprofen last night. So glad to be on the mend. Enjoyed a relaxing breakfast and quiet time. No running around this morning. We expected Amos And Dallas to be here around 10:00, and we would have some fellowship with them. But they never came until after noon. In the mean time, I busied myself in the kitchen. Peeled, washed and cut up the rest of the carrots and put them in a pot to cook. Then I decided to add the handful of potatoes that was left so peeled washed and cut those up too. Put the pot of food on to cook, and will have some of that for lunch. So that will give a little variety to my diet, and I won’t be eating just kaukau all day. Too much kaukau is hard to digest. Daddy and I did some walking back and forth on the upstairs front veranda to get some exercise and enjoy the fresh air. We also sat down and sang a few songs together while we were waiting for our guests. Daddy had just put his dinner in the microwave when they showed up at the gate. After a good cry, we all had lunch together. Amos and Dallas just came down to Goroka from Kainantu yesterday. They had gone there with 29 youth from GIBC to attend several days of youth meetings at Bethel Baptist Church. It is a church that was started by Scott Childs, but currently has no pastor. Pastor Daniel from New Testament Baptist in Goroka was there to do the preaching. The youth, along with Mike and other adults who had accompanied them, were on their way back to Owena and were expected to arrive back there some time this evening. We had plenty of kaukau and some cooking bananas to feed the two of them. They spent a couple hours with us and then went back to Philip’s house where they are staying. Then Daddy and I had our nap. After nap, I made a list of produce we need to buy at market tomorrow. Then we figured out what we need most to get at the other stores tomorrow since we won’t have a vehicle available on Tuesday and Wednesday. After supper, I cooked up some ground beef so I can have some to eat in the morning with my veggies. Washed up a handful of dishes. Wrote an e-mail to C&C so it is ready to mail whenever we can connect to the internet. Transferred a few photos to the computer and edited them. Daddy and I read Philippians 4 this evening and had prayer together. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 Praise the Lord for this reminder, for when it seems like our own strength is almost gone, we know that it is not our own strength which carries us through, but it is Christ who strengthens us.
