Bonjour,

Danny and Gilbert were both up early this morning. They were up
before the Post boys. Gilbert was ready to go outside and play with
those boys.

Jennifer decided to let the boys have a day off of school today. So,
they had fun all day.

Joe went to Accra today with Brother Widener, Jonathan, Dan Post, and
Jimmy. Brother Widener drove his van that has air conditioning.
Everyone enjoyed that. They found some good buys in Accra. They went
back to the Wideners' house in Cape Coast this evening and will head
back to Ivory Coast in the morning.

The water went off this afternoon; so, we were running on the tank.
After the boys took their baths this evening, the water went off
again. The tank was empty. So, Jennifer and I took bucket baths.
They keep some water in a bucket in each bathroom for such occasions.

This evening, Gilbert asked for some chocolate. Jennifer was making
popcorn; so, I told Gilbert that he didn't need any chocolate. A few
minutes later, I saw him kneeling down on the floor. I asked him what
he was doing. He said, "I'm praying for food!"

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
