Here's how my valentines day went: Woke up very early and helped Derek
with breakfast after my morning Bible reading and coffee. We then had
breakfast and Bible time with the whole family, which is always great.
We read in the book of Micah, sang a few songs, and prayed together.
The rest of the morning I hauled brush, cleaned up the pets' mess all
over the yard, made some more coffee, painted a piece of furniture,
helped package up and grade correspondence courses, did a load of
laundry by hand since the washer wasn't working, did some reading and
fell asleep only to be awakened by my cousin Joel using a marker to
draw a green mustache on my face after already writing "Joel says hi"
on my leg. Later we had some of the African guys over for supper and
volleyball which was lots of fun! My cousin Miah was my "valentine"
for the day, haha. I wrote a bunch of stupid poems and stuck them all
over his bunk bed. He in turn, told me that if he had an arrow, he
would stick it through my heart! Oh well, it was a busy but fun day.
I've been very busy in the kitchen the last few days. Lots of the
things I've made are first timers for me, but everyone seems to like
them - lots of seconds and no leftovers! This morning I did coffee
cake and chocolate-chip banana bread which are favorites of all. Some
other missionary guys from Botswana are staying with us tonight and we
just finished our midweek service here at the house with them. There's
nothing like the sound of natural harmony echoing throughout the
house!
