Bonjour,

This morning, we went to the church so that Lenell could see the progress on her apartment.  There is still a lot to be done, but she was very pleased with the progress.

When we got back home, Joe loaded up the Post boys and headed into Abidjan.  He took them to the hospital.  Then, Joe and Dan went to trade money.  From there, they went to pay for the container.  They got lunch for everyone and headed back to the hospital.  Joe ate lunch wih them and then headed home.

Nathan was looking a little pale because they had forgotten to give him his pain medicine.  Once they finally tracked his medicine down, his color returned, and he was feeling much better.  He still has the tube in his leg that is draining the wound.  He will probably be in the hospital until Saturday morning.

Dan left Jimmy at the hospital with Nathan, and he took Jennifer and the other boys home.  The power at the Posts’ house has been off since this morning.

When Joe asked if they could have the container delivered by Friday, they said that they would try.  So, we aren’t holding our breath, but we are hoping that it will happen.

After the boys went down for their naps, Lenell and I watched a movie.  Then, we all got ready for church. 

We had a good service this evening.  The Litsons leave two weeks from today for furlough.
