Bonjour,

Joe went up to the church this morning.  Part of the “roof” on the bamboo building blew off in Monday night’s storm.  So, they worked on that this morning.  The thatched roof pieces that Joe picked up yesterday were finished just in time.  They didn’t get those put on yet.  They worked on it all morning and afternoon.

Gilbert found a fake bug today that he thought was great.  He acted like the bug was biting me, and I would react.  Gilbert and Danny laughed and laughed.  Tonight, Danny brought the bug over to “bite” me.  He started laughing before he ever touched me with it.

We had a good church service this evening.

We just talked to my family.  They said that the funeral went very well.  Please continue to pray for the Van Manen family.

A demain,
