Bonjour,

Joe and Gilbert went to church this morning. We thought it would be
good for Danny to stay in a couple more days. He is doing better but
doesn't have his full strength back yet.

The medicine that Joe is taking for his sinus infection is about to do
him in. After teaching Sunday school, Joe wasn't feeling well at all.
He was very shaky and couldn't tell if his Bible was right side up or
upside down; he thought he might vomit. Since Romeo was preaching for
the morning service, Joe came on home. He rested most of the afternoon
and felt better this evening.

There were 78 in attendance this morning. A lady who has been coming
off and on got saved yesterday morning on visitation. Mr. Kesse and
Romeo went visiting together. Mr. Kesse was so excited today.

Yesterday afternoon, Romeo rode his bike out to SCB, a plantation where
he holds Bible clubs. On his way back to Anyama, he had a flat tire.
He was a bit discouraged as he was pushing his bike home. He came
across another man who also had a flat tire and was pushing his bike
too. Romeo got to lead the man to the Lord as they pushed their bikes
together.

Joe went to church this evening. They had a good service.

After church, the Engelharts and Lenell came over for Joe's birthday
party. We had a good time of fellowship. The boys like to play with
"Uncle Bob." He picks them up and lets them fly like a bird.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie

P.S. Thank you to everyone who sent birthday greetings for Joe. He is
32 today.
