Bonjour,

We had a good morning at church.  People trickled in during Sunday school, but we had a good crowd by church time.
I had thirty in my junior church this morning.  It was wild in there today.  None of the kids were listening at all; Sunday school must have been all that they could handle.
Pastor Davis, the missionary who started this church, is coming for a visit at the end of August.  While he is here, we are going to have a special sending-off service for Bro. Evans, who is starting a church in Inchaban.  Each of the Sunday school classes is going to recite a couple verses and sing a song.  We started working on that today.  
We had lunch, took naps, and then headed back to church again.  There were fifteen in attendance tonight.  Bro. Evans preached tonight.  
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
