November 13. The Lord gave us another lovely day today. This morning all four of the men came—Amos, Mike, Dallas, and Wan—and got quite a bit accomplished in the new schoolroom. First they finished bordering the wall in the back corner south. Then Amos and Mike worked on making shelves in the front corner south. They got quite a bit done, but have some to go yet. Dallas and Wan worked on a desk for the teacher and finished that before they left work around 1:00. Praise the Lord for His help in finishing up the newsletter today. Also made corrections for the book of Acts, both in the computer and on Daddy’s copy. Last of all, I revised the shopping list and started highlighting what we need for this shopping trip. This evening, Daddy helped me get a complete list in order for him to take to town.. November 14. 8:00 p.m. Let’s see if I can recall the events of the day. Sometimes the brain slows down by this hour of the evening. The first part of the morning is usually easy to remember as it is pretty much routine. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the morning starts with lemon drink, Bible reading, smoothie (if we have bananas), prayer, crocheting, a small panful of cooked cereal. Sunny came and washed clothes, swept the floors, and had a cup of coffee. I put a clean sheet on the bed and made the bed up. Then I worked on e-mails for Daddy to send in town. Blew up the newsletter first and proofread it and made a couple corrections. Put that in an e-mail with a short note for C&C. Second e-mail was a list of acknowledgments for October support so Christy can add those to the corresponding newsletters. A little before dinner time, I enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate coffee. This afternoon, I got two weeks of journal notes ready to put in another e-mail for C&C.* Also Mailin came to visit for a while. She has come over here to stay with her parents as she is expecting her fourth child any time now. She has her three boys with her, ages 2,4, and 5. It was good to talk with her. She shared how the Lord helped her to show kindness to her co-wife, and how the co-wife has become more pleasant to be with and the two of them get along well. The co-wife has a little girl of her own and helps Mailin a lot with the three boys. Mailin would like so much to see her husband and co-wife saved. Her husband has left them for a while and gone to Moresby to work. This evening, I transferred photos to the computer and edited them somewhat. This computer does not have a good picture editor. *For some reason, I do not have a copy of those journal notes, which are probably the ones from Nov. 2nd to Nov. 8th. November 15. The Lord gave us a warm, dry season day. Praise the Lord for answered prayer again for the mission students trek to Kairaba. This evening we hear thunder off in the distance. We are praying for good weather for Daddy’s flight to town on Tuesday also. We went out for our walk somewhat early this morning as the day was already warming up, and we didn’t want to wait until it got too hot to walk. After our walk, I wrote an e-mail with birthday wishes to Connie H. Then I made the bed and folded the clothes. And afterward, I got a couple more e-mails ready to go to C&C—one with journal notes and one with pictures; an e-mail for Mandy G and one for Amy. Then I started fixing up a picture I want to use for SKMS (Soldia bilong Kraist Misinari Skul) logo. (Missionary school logo) The time went by so quickly, I was surprised to see that it was already 12:00 when I looked up. I quit work on the picture fixing for now and went to fix dinner. Made the little bit of leftover uxai and rice into rice patties for our dinner, and there was a little bit of leftover greens to go with it. After nap, I washed my hair, printed out copies of the Gospel of John for Daddy and me to proofread (after he gets back from town), and did a couple more rows of crocheting. Had done two or three rows in the morning also.
