Bonjour,
Joe went visiting this morning. He stopped at the post office, and we
had some packages. They had some good visits.
I worked on writing our Christmas letter this morning. This afternoon,
we worked on putting a little booklet of Christmas songs together. I
also practiced some songs on my clarinet.
When we opened the packages this afternoon, there were some Christmas
marshmallows in one of the boxes. Danny was excited to see those. He
said, "Oh, WOW!"

We had a special service this evening. It started an hour earlier than
usual. We had several specials and a time for testimonies as well as
the normal prayer time and preaching. I played my clarinet and sang a
couple songs too. The people don't know too many Christmas songs. We
are trying to teach them some of those.
This evening, Gilbert, Danny, and Malo – the cohorts in crime – were
climbing on the benches. I told Gilbert and Danny in English to get
down. Then, I told Malo in French. Gilbert started repeating what he
had heard me say. When Malo got down off the bench, Gilbert said, "It
worked, Mom!"
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
