Bonjour,

We had a good day at church. There were 87 in attendance this morning.
Joe preached the morning message.

The newly remodeled bamboo structure worked well. We didn't have any
children escaping out of spaces in the wall. There were 19 in our
class today. One boy who is always bad actually participated for the
first time today. I was amazed at how much he knew.

It was hot today. We were all ready for a nap this afternoon.

After church tonight, Gilbert was asking me if he was a good boy. I
said that he was pretty good. Danny asked if he was good. Joe told him
that he was a bad boy. Danny said, "I was a little bit good."

Tonight, Gilbert came in to tell me that the sky was blinking and that
meant it was going to rain soon. The rain didn't come, but there was
lightning.

Bonnie is starting to say some words. She says "Hello."

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
