Bonjour,
Joe had a work day this morning. Some guys came out to move some stuff out of the garage that needed to go up to the church. Then, they came back here and worked on moving the remaining John and Romans out of the garage to the Scripture Center building. They also cleaned and organized the Scripture Center. They got a lot accomplished. The kids were busy "helping" until Bible Club time. As soon as Bible Club was over, they went right back to help Daddy. Bonnie thought that she was in charge, as usual.
The swelling in my hand has gone down throughout the day. It is still a little swollen, but I think the medicine is doing its job.
We tried changing the Bible Club time to 11:00 today. We had 27 children for Bible Club. After Bible Club, about fifty more kids showed up to play in the field. They had a big soccer game going. A few of those kids came up to the door asking for candy. I told them that they had to come for Bible Club to get candy. About 4:00 this afternoon, a few more kids came for Bible Club. Those kids are the ones who are usually here at 11:00 every Saturday. I told them that they missed Bible Club today and that they would have to come next week at 11:00. I wasn't feeling very well, or I might have done Bible Club again for them.
Joe had told the kids that they could help him burn the trash that they collected today. After naps, they went out to burn the trash.
I made hot dog buns for supper. For some reason, they did not rise. Oh well, we ate them anyway.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
