I found a spider's egg sac on the underside of a leaf this morning on my way down the hill for market. So, far we've only seen the egg sacs on the bellies of the spiders - the nice big brown ones that like to live in our laundry basket and book baskets in the house. God's creation continues to inspire awe in our family.
Sunday, April 10
Last night around 7 p.m., this month's catechist, Walter, came and asked Aaron to preach this morning. Twelve hours' notice (and some time to sleep, too)! As Aaron said, instant in season and out of season. Aaron's sermons are always a shock to our quiet, reserved Anglican church here in Marulaon.
We didn't make any lelenga yesterday because my copra sacks (that I use to hold in heat on top of the hot stones) are full of copra for the church. Instead, Leku's mama, Sarah, brought us TWELVE urio (coconut crabs) after church this morning. This time of year, the crabs' shells turn soft as they prepare to molt, so they are sluggish and easier to catch. April and May are the best months to catch the crabs, but only when the moon goes down and the night is completely dark. I'm hoping Aaron gets the chance to go hunt urio soon.
