November 11. It was a cold night and a foggy morning. By the time Judy was ready to hang out clothes, however, the sun was ready to shine down on the clothes and help them dry. Only Mike came to work this morning. Daddy had Mike help pull the stove out so we could hook up the power cord to the power supply. Now we won’t need to use matches to light the burners. They can be lit using the switch. That will be a blessing. Then Mike moved the two battery lights from the kitchen and bedroom where they were no longer being used. One is now in the storage closet and the other in the spare bathroom. The one in the spare bathroom doesn’t work again, however. He checked the power and the power is coming all the way to the light fixture so there is something wrong with the fixture again. It looks like Daddy will need to get another light fixture. Taqita was gone up the mountain to work in the garden so Orpah was with Mike. She behaved herself very well for the three hours or so that Mike was here. I gave her a teddy bear to hold, and she carried the foldable footstool around so she could sit on it near her dad as he worked. Wan came late in the morning but had time to nail pieces of ooqdi (a type of wood) above the entry room wall on the outside to keep out the wind and rain. (The wall had not been cut to go all the way to the top.) Mike helped with that job as he was just finishing up the other jobs when Wan came. I spent a couple hours trying to write a happy birthday e-mail to Cilla. There were a number of interruptions to answer questions about Daddy’s and Mike’s work, to get things they needed, and to answer the door. Finally finished the e-mail; and praise the Lord, it sent out this afternoon in spite of the fact that a couple other e-mails are trying to come in. After that, I went out and brought in the clothes that were already dry. After dinner, we brought the rest of the clothes in. Before nap was over, we were getting some rain so I was thankful that all the clothes got dry. “3)….our Lord Jesus Christ, 4) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father.” Galatians 1:3-4 Thank You, Lord Jesus, for giving Yourself for my sins and for delivering me from this present evil world. (And how evil it is!) And thank You, my Heavenly Father, that this was Your will, and that Your Son was obedient to Your will. November 12. The day started out damp and dreary and dense with fog; but by mid-morning, God had rolled away the fog and given us sunshine. The rest of the day was warm and pleasant. The morning’s routine included a lemon soda drink, Bible reading, a smoothie, prayer time, crocheting, a small panful of rice cereal, making the bed, and folding yesterday’s laundry. Then I got a quick outline ready for Daddy to use for helping the students to learn how to make an outline for teaching a Bible verse. He would lead them through the steps and work with them on developing the outline. Last job of the morning was making bread – flat, thin rounds of yeast bread, since Daddy had finished the last of the town bread yesterday. I think our yeast must be getting old as the bread didn’t appear to be rising. By the time it needed to be cooked (late afternoon), however, it had puffed up sufficiently. Had a little time to start on the newsletter before dinner, and then had a little extra time, as SIL came just before noon and Daddy went up to the airstrip to see the pilot. This afternoon, I continued work on the newsletter and nearly finished it. So thankful for the Lord’s help.
