Bonjour,

This morning, some men came to work on the cement slab out back. It
rained off and on all morning, but they were able to get the cement
poured. Gilbert and Danny kept going out to check on their progress.
Both boys had to find their little rakes and shovels so that they could
work too. Then, Gilbert came in looking for some work gloves. He was
disappointed that we didn't have any for him.

The attendance at VBS was down from yesterday due to the rain, but they
had a good day with those who did come.

After naps, we went into Abidjan. We took Lenell to buy her stove.
Then, Joe took us to Akle for supper. They have very good chicken
strips. We got a few groceries and then headed home.

The boys went over to help Joe and the guards load Lenell's refrigerator
up to take to her apartment tomorrow. She is planning to officially
move in on Monday. We will miss having her close by, but we are glad
that she can move into her apartment after she has worked so hard to get
it ready.

Bonnie slept quite a bit today. We will see how she does tonight.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
