Bonjour,

We had “spring” cleaning here today.  We rearranged in the office so that we can set up a bed in there for Lenell.  She will arrive on Monday.  Then, we sorted things in the garage.  There was a partially filled barrel of boys’ clothes.  So, I went through the boys closets and packed away the things that they have outgrown.  We had a busy day.

We had some wood that we had been storing in the office until we decided what to do with it.  Joe had the carpenter come today.  He is going to make two cabinets with the cedar and a bookshelf with the oak. 

We moved a baby bed out of the office into our room.  Gilbert wanted to know whose bed it was.  We told him it was going to be baby sister’s bed.  So, he really thinks she is coming soon now.

The dryer quit working again today.  The repairman was supposed to come this afternoon, but he didn’t make it out today.  His car broke down.

Please continue to pray for Nathan Post.  He went to the doctor today.  They reset the bone.  But, after doing another x-ray, they discovered that it is still not set properly.  Pray for the Posts as they decide what to do next. 

We put “For Sale” signs on our car today.  We would like to sell it and buy something smaller.  The roads between here and Bonoua are good roads, and we would save a lot of money in fuel if we could get something more fuel efficient, not to mention the money we would save in  repairs if we could get something newer.  Please pray that we would be able to sell this car for a good price and find the car God wants us to have.
