Bonjour,

Everyone seems to be feeling better today. Gilbert took his last dose
of the malaria treatment. He hasn't had a fever all day but is feeling
a little warm this evening.

Joe worked in the office this morning. The boys played outside. Bonnie
was up for awhile. She is still sleeping most of the day and is awake
quite a bit at night.

I got a nap in before Joe left to go to the village. The boys were
still asleep when he left. They were disappointed that they didn't get
to tell Daddy goodbye. Bonnie woke up, and they took turns holding her
while she was happy.

The evangelistic meeting went well this evening. There were twelve
adults saved tonight.

Joe found out that one of the men who was saved at the evangelistic
meeting last week was the man who sold fetishes in the village. He was
very big into idol worship and wore several fetishes around his neck.
He got saved and was in church on Sunday. It was the talk of the town,
"The fetisher went to church today!" Someone asked him why he went to
church. He told them that he wasn't going to have anything to do with
fetishes anymore. He said that he is going to do two things for the
rest of his life – go to church and tend to his fields. What a blessing!

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
