Bonjour,

Joe went visiting this morning. They visited a lady named Adelle who
has visited a couple times. She took them through her courtyard and
introduced them to everyone. They were able to invite a lot of people
to church.

I organized the bathroom cabinets today. I left the room for a minute.
When I went back in the room, Danny had opened a thing of deodorant and
taken a bite out of it. He was saying, "Teeth." He wanted to brush his
teeth to get rid of the deodorant taste.

The boys and I took a nap this afternoon. Joe worked in the office.

Church went well this evening. There were thirty in attendance. Joe
preached.

We had a strange thing happen tonight. I had just gotten some koolaid
out of the refrigerator for Gilbert. A few seconds later, the
refrigerator door fell off. It went crashing to the floor. Both of the
boys were standing in the kitchen, but it didn't hit either one of
them. A couple of the shelves were broken, and eggs were everywhere.
Joe was able to get the door put back on. We'll see how long it stays! : )

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
