Bonjour,
This morning, Joe and the boys went to get Lenell's gas grill in working
order. Then, they came home to get me, Bonnie, and Margie. Lenell had
invited the ladies for lunch. Tammy and Kristine had brought their
vehicle to the mechanic in Anyama; so, they were at Lenell's house too.
We had a good lunch and a good time of fellowship.
Dan was talking to a Lebanese businessman yesterday. He was asking Dan
if he knew of an orphanage who needed some assistance. Dan mentioned
the orphanage here in Anyama. The man contacted Joe last night and
asked if he could come see the orphanage today. Just as we were heading
to the church, the man called and asked for directions. Joe dropped us
off at Lenell's apartment and then went back down to the corner to wait
for the man.
Joe introduced the man to Pastor Ake. They showed him where the orphans
stay and also the deaf school. He was very interested in helping. He
is sending cement and sand tomorrow to make bricks to complete a school
room for the deaf.
Joe and the boys went home and ate lunch. Then, they took a nap.

Around 17:30, Lenell brought us home. The mechanic brought Tammy's
vehicle out. He replaced the head gasket. It was still running a
little warm; he thought that the thermostat might be bad. So, Joe
offered to follow Tammy and Kristine home just in case they had any
problems. We all went. Gilbert and Danny rode in Tammy's car with
Lenell, Kristine, and Tammy; they thought that was great.
We had supper at Akle. The vehicle did fine on the way to the
restaurant; so, they didn't think we needed to follow them the rest of
the way home. Lenell rode back with us. We got home just before 21:00.
When Danny is looking for me, he walks up and down the hallway saying,
"Where you are, Mom?" He likes to do puzzles, and he has figured out
how to do them by himself. But, he still wants someone to help him.
Gilbert offers to help, but Danny only wants Mom or Dad to help him.
Bonnie is happy to be back on her own turf. She is crawling around and
playing.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
