This morning, Joe went visiting with Dan.  Joe has a new idea for Saturday mornings.  He wants to start Neighborhood Bible Clubs in several different areas.  They looked at several different places today.  They want to start five new Bible Clubs next week.  They will go from one place to the next.  The goal is to get more people in the church involved and turn these over to people in the church while they start some new ones.  When we get enough people coming on Saturdays, we will start picking them up for Sunday services.

We had forty at the Bible Club in our yard today.  Passing out water sachets and candy can become a mess with that many children!  (Here they package water in plastic bags instead of bottles because it is cheaper.  Each bag contains half a liter of water, a little more than a pint.)  While I was passing out candy, the children who had already gotten candy attacked the bag containing the remaining water sachets.  Those sachets do explode!

After naps, the boys went up to play with the Luther boys.  Bonnie was asleep underneath Danny's bed.  She slept quite a bit longer than the boys.  She went to play too when she woke up.  Joe took our boys, the Luther boys, and Dan squirrel hunting.  I think they scared them all away with that many people!  : )  Actually, they said that someone had burned their trash, and the hawks were swooping down; that was why there weren't any little critters out and about.

We had tacos for supper.  Then, we had popcorn and watched Monk.  

Joe found some old video clips that we had posted on Facebook a few years ago.  The boys thought it was funny to see themselves when they were so little.  Bonnie wanted to know where she was.

Our internet connection is too slow to post video clips here.  We have tried a couple times, but it says that it will take 72 hours, and it always shuts down about two hours into the upload.  Oh well, at least we can send pictures.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
