Bonjour,
Joe went visiting this morning. At their first stop, they found out
that the baby of Lady, one of the women in the church, died last night.
The baby was almost eight months old. He seemed to be healthy when he
was born, but he just gradually kept getting worse. He died of Aids.
Lady is in the last stage of Aids now as well. Please pray for that family.
Nicole, another lady in the church, had spilled a pot and burnt her
face. They went to see her too. She was doing okay. Her dad died on
Sunday morning, and they are still working on the funeral arrangements.
The boys played this morning. Bonnie took a nap. I got a few e-mails
typed.

After lunch, we all took a nap. Then, we got ready for church.
Dominique from the Anyama church preached this evening. There were 31
in attendance. After church, most of the people walked to Lady's house
to let the family know we are praying for them. Joe kept the kids at
the church, and I walked to the house with some of the ladies. Lady was
in the bedroom and didn't come out. We talked to her husband. It was
so sad.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
