Today I did more work on posters, played guitar, and gave a guitar lesson to Henry. This morning we got two of the national teenage girls to play a game for us to help Carl and Pat learn demonstratives in Tok Ples. Each was shown a posterboard with sixteen spaces, and each had the same objects. On one board, the objects were arranged in the sixteen spaces. The person at this board had to explain, in Tok Ples, to the person with the empty board exactly where and how to place her objects. The two players can talk to each other, but can't see each other. We did a sound and video recording of the proceedings. Julie and I also played once for the fun of it . We also made bread with cardamom in it... mmm
. Em tasol ("That's all"). God is good.
