On Saturday, we had a work day at the church. We got a lot accomplished. Several adults and about twenty children came to help.
One of the projects was to dust all of the books off that had been in the storage room and take them back to the library. The men started painting and painted the library first so that we could put the bookshelves back in there. My job was dusting all of the books. The children who came to help would line up by the door and wait for books to carry to the auditorium. There were even a couple three-year-olds helping move books. One little girl would come right to the front of the line and say, "Brony!" (the Fante word for white man). That meant "I want another book to carry" this time though.
Around 1:00, Joe took the kids and I back home. We had lunch and went down for naps. Joe went back up to the church. They finished painting the auditorium and got everything set up for Sunday. I came down with a migraine from getting too hot. I spent the rest of the evening in bed.
I still wasn't feeling well this morning. Joe and the kids went on to church. They had a good morning at church. I rested this morning and started to feel better this afternoon.
We all went to church tonight. Brother Davis preached this evening. Brother Davis started the church where we are at; the people were happy to see him, and he was happy to see those who have stayed faithful.
Brother Davis ate supper with us. With all of the activities, Gilbert still had homework to do. We got that done before bed time.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
