Bonjour,

It rained all night last night and on into this morning. Joe headed out to go visiting in hopes that the rain would stop for awhile; it did. He was able to visit the guy that got saved last week. He said that he is going to come tomorrow.

They also witnessed to another man for quite awhile. He was the landlord of the house where the church first started meeting years ago. He asked about Tom Vineyard and his father. He did not get saved today, but he had a lot of questions. Please pray for him.

Just as the rain let up for awhile this morning, the power went off. It was off four hours. Joe fired up the generator when he got home from visiting.

Gilbert is sick today. He had a fever and diarrhea this morning; he also has a cough and a runny nose. He wanted to “watch a movie” this morning, but the power was off. So, we looked at books instead. He didn’t want me to get too far away from him.

Danny still has a runny nose, but he seems to be feeling better. He is the great explorer. He crawls everywhere!

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
