Bonjour,

This morning when we were getting ready for church, I told the boys that
we needed to put a hustle on. Gilbert said, "What, Mom? You want us to
do a puzzle? I thought we were getting ready for church." I then
explained that I meant that we needed to hurry.

We had a good morning at church. There were 81 in attendance. I had 18
in my class.

The service this evening was interesting. Romeo had stayed after the
morning service to deal with some problems. On the way to church
tonight, he was telling Joe about the meetings. One of the guys in the
church had set up a prophecy booth and was calling himself a prophet;
the man is not mentally stable. He was at church when we got there this
evening. So, Joe and Romeo took him outside and talked to him.

After the song service, Romeo explained what had happened. Joe read
some verses and explained why it was wrong. Then, the guy got up and
asked for forgiveness.

After church, Joe and Romeo went to talk to the husband of one of our
faithful ladies. Her husband had beaten her. They were able to talk to
him for quite awhile. Please pray for his salvation.

Margie had invited us over for supper tonight. I had breadsticks ready
to go in the oven. I baked them, and then we went over to the
Engelharts' house. Lenell was there too. Lenell had made a birthday
cake for Gilbert. He was excited to get to celebrate his birthday a few
days early. He will be four on Wednesday.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
