Bonjour!

The Sunday school class for the ladies went well this morning. We ended up with fourteen ladies. Margie did a good job with the lesson.

There are normally curtains in the auditorium that divide the different classes. Someone took the curtains down to wash them and failed to put them back up. So, Joe had fun finding a place for all of the classes to meet this morning.

The morning service went well. The highlights of the church service for Gilbert are the song service and the offering. He “sings” at the top of his voice. He likes to go put his money in the basket up front.

Mom and the boys all took naps this afternoon. Joe printed out the Sunday school lessons for next week.

We had a good service this evening. There were several people missing due to sickness. Bob Engelhart has been down this week with malaria, and he now has bronchitus. Becky Mach has also been down with malaria. There seems to be a lot of sickness during the rainy season here.

Please pray for Joe’s sister, Mandy. She is in the hospital to have their third child. They are inducing labor today.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
