W’apow mu e, 

When we went out to head to the church this morning, the car would not start again.  Joe is thinking it might be the battery.  We had to push start it and made it to church.  We had 83 at church this morning.  I had 29 in my class.  My helper wasn’t there for Sunday School, but he came for church.

We had to push start the car again this evening when we left for church.  We had a good service this evening with 22 in attendance.  Ten of the neighbor kids came again. I think they were expecting cake like last week because they all stayed seated after church was over.  I told them that we didn’t have anything to eat tonight, and they all went outside.

After church, Joe talked to Bright and Harriett about getting married.  They both seem to be serious about living for the Lord.  

The Siekberts had invited us over to their house after church tonight.  They have a group visiting from their church in Ohio.  We got to their house before they did.  Our church is closer to their house than their church is.  The kids played outside while we waited.  We had a good time of fellowship.  Bonnie was a little afraid of all of those white people at first, but she warmed up to them quickly.  After supper, I helped Jackie with the dishes.  Then, we headed home to get the kids in bed for school tomorrow.  The kids thought that we should be out of school tomorrow since it is an American holiday.  

Joe had planned to leave for Ivory Coast in the morning.  He is going to pack up the rest of our stuff that is still there.  Because of the vehicle problems, he is going to postpone his departure until Tuesday.  Pray for his safety as he will be doing a lot of traveling in the next few weeks.

Thumper is sick again.  The vet came, and he thinks it is sleeping sickness caused by being bit by a tsetse fly.  The vet is going to come again tomorrow to check on Thumper.  

Nantsew yie!

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
