Wrote a long letter to Patti Chastain, included remarks on the trip and suggestions for improvements.

Took a nap after lunch.

The weather was cool with a nice breeze.  There was no rain.

Went for an hour and a half walk with one of the Simon twins.  We went in an out-of-town direction. Came to several dead ends, crossed small canals, then came to a big canal.  We sat on the bank for sometime. The Simon twins are not related to Pauline Simon’s family. They are grand daughters of Brother and ___ Hutchinson, the frail-looking man Jim brought back to life several years ago. He wants to go to Guyana but the grandmother doesn’t.

The house was cleaned up in prospect for visit of a Brigadier invited by Sharon Amos.

Much food was brought in today:  liver, fruit and vegetables. For dinner we had liver fried, a vegetable mixture with okra, squash, onions, tomatoes and oranges with coconut.

Procurement jobs continued. Richard Janaro told me they were making progress in getting meat.  The boat might be able to leave in a couple of days.
The Brigadier didn’t come.

Some of the young people ate early and left for a meeting. On returning, Tim Carter told me they had met with representatives from all churches and that at a later meeting he was to talk and present a hymn. He doesn’t know any.

I dried dishes. My thumb is nearly healed.

Went to bed at 10.00 but there was too much confusion for me to get to sleep for and hour or two.
