September 11. A sunny morning, but strong, gusty winds still keep the air cool. We did go out in the sunshine for a little while mid-morning, but I did put on a light jacket and a cap. Today I got Sunny’s certificate made, all ready to print. Most of my time was spent revising SCMS lessons. Several of them need to be changed from letter size to A4 size as we have no more letter size paper. This afternoon, I also peeled and cut up carrots to cook for supper, and cleaned the bathroom sink and toilet and refilled the hand soap pump. This evening Sera and Elija came with their new baby, born August 8, their third child and third girl. Daddy tried to send e-mails today, but is still not having success with that. September 12. Praise the Lord for giving a good e-mail connection this morning so that we were able to send out the e-mails that have been waiting in the outbox. Praise the Lord for a nice sunny morning, too, and relatively calm winds, so that we could go for a walk before mid-morning, before lotu started on the hill. I thank the Lord, too, that my legs weren’t hurting and that I was able to walk all the way up to the top of the airstrip. After we returned, I wrote a letter of reference for Sunny and read a chapter in Numbers. Later, I printed two copies of the reference letter along with Sunny’s school certificate. I picked out four kaukau (sweet potato) to cook for dinner, and out of those four, I might have gotten the equivalent of one. They were really bad kaukau. The rest of my computer time today was spent making corrections in the Revelation lessons for SCMS, mostly checking the verses as some of them have been revised. Still have a bit to go yet on that project. I went to the kitchen early to make tortillas for my supper, expecting them to be done around 5:00. However, several things delayed the process. I opened the bag of garam dhal flour so I could add some to the tortillas as it gives a nice nutty flavor. I only needed 1/4 cup so then the bag was too full to close up so I had to find a container for that flour. Then I thought I would have just enough wholemeal flour for the tortillas, but ended up being a little less than a half cup short so had to open a new bag of flour. Usually, I don’t have any trouble finding the pull string, but the case was not so today. Finally got that bag opened and flour measured into the bowl. Then I looked in the foot locker for the new packet of seaweed which I thought was there, only to discover after a few minutes that I had already taken it out and put it in the tall cupboard some time or other. By the time I finally got everything together and the dough made into balls, it was already just about 5:00. Still needed to roll out the tortillas and cook them. As soon as I had them all rolled out and two on the pans to cook, we sat down for supper. I did as much getting up and tending to the tortillas as I did sitting down, however. Listened to a message by a youth pastor, Tom Krampert, entitled “Stand by the Word, You are Not Alone.” An excellent message to show the importance of making the word of God your main textbook and source of teaching.
