Bonjour,

We had a good day at church. There were 85 in attendance this morning.

I had 20 in my class. One boy always causes trouble during Sunday
school; then, he does better during the second hour. That boy kept
pestering Gilbert and another boy during Sunday school. Toward the end
of the hour, Gilbert said, "Mom, I'm done with this business."

Danny kept trying to raid the cookie box during the second hour. When I
told him that he couldn't have any more cookies, he said, "Let's go
home, Mom."

Missions With the Consfords

The lady who helped me kept an eye on Bonnie. Bonnie crawled around for
a little while. Then, she fell asleep.

The evening service went well also. There were 34 in attendance
tonight. Gilbert and Danny both get so excited about going up to the
front to put their offering in the basket.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
