Thursday, December 12

A hum-dinger of a storm began around 3 o'clock this morning and woke everybody up. All of our windows are open and that we have no ceiling, only a tin roof. So it was loud! Aaron ended up starting his day early, but the rest of us went back to sleep.  When Katherine got up this morning, she hopped into my bed to snuggle. After "good morning", her next words were, "Mama, the thunder shook the house last night. Did it make your leg hurt?" I love that girl and her tender heart

So thankful for the much-needed rain and for the people all over the world praying for a good balance of sun (for the gardens and solar panels) and rain (for the gardens and rain tanks, our only source of water)!

Eta came this morning to weed and put up poles for the wing-bean to climb.  She also transplanted the red papaya seedlings that have been growing from seed Aaron brought in October.  Today was a perfect day for transplanting, cloudy and "cool", with occasional sprinkles.  It will give those little trees a great start in their new homes.

Aaron took down some peanut butter cookies for Kiko as a thank you.  He's been my legs a lot this week!  I also sent him to ask her to come up to the house to talk about the Bible Story workshop in Karumulun tomorrow.  Neither she nor her sisters were home, but her niece said she would send Kiko up when returned.  Aaron checked back after Evening Prayer, too, but none of the sisters were home.  We finally went to bed, assuming she would come by in the morning.
