Wed. Apr 8

 Lonnie’s prayer at supper last night was answered. The little thunderstorm that came thru only had the power out a little while in which the battery backup was able to take care of. So our night was not impeded by multiple or lengthy power outage. 

Long story, short of our day… Our 3 girls spent the day with low grade fevers.. read on for the details🙃

Maddie came down in the morning not feeling well and registering a low grade fever. After a bit of breakfast she took a nap. At 1st recess, Jaira said she was cold and had been all morning! I knew their classroom, having no A.C., could not be classified as cold. Headache was still a symptom hanging on so more fever reducer and after awhile Maddie was feeling better and Jaira was in her room taking a nap. Then Lonnie got home from taking a walk with the littles and Annslie was ready to go down for a nap!(2 1/2 hrs earlier than normal)

Dipti made Bangla noodles for our lunch. 

She needed to talk to Lonnie about more advance pay as she has school books and shoes to buy for her younger son, Turjo. While she waited for him to get home, I had her clean a couple mirrors. She proceeded to spray windex and wipe down everything in the room with paper towel🤦🏼‍♀️ varnished door, plastic dresser, painted metal wardrobe, etc… whoever thought using job appropriate methods/cleaning rags could be so difficult to savvy?! And I know probably every missionary wife thru the years has had her clean a little differently from the last one!.. but for example When she’s washing the dining room table some days, I see she has gone to wiping the dining room chairs and then on into the living room dusting the furniture with her same dishcloth!… anyways,

At lunch time, Maddie and Jaira were feeling pretty good again but after school Jaira was hit pretty hard again. Neither were very active. By evening, Annslie and Maddie were both having the chills and lying around also. The quietest, most docile evening version of Annslie ever! She sat, reclined in the love seat with Jaira, while Jaira sang song after song..and then was ready to go to bed early.

My day consisted of..a couple loads of laundry, a bit of mending, shirts ironed,

Lonnie got the tracts all bagged, ready to give to the local pastors that distribute them.
