We had a good day at church.  The attendance was low today.  Last night, Ghana played in the Africa Cup of Nations Tournament.  Everyone was up late watching that.  But, we had good services with those who did come.

I had fourteen in my class today.  I did not have a helper.  Gilbert and Danny helped me out.  

After church, we had lunch and took naps.  Then, we got ready to go back to church.

On the way to church tonight, a truck that was a few vehicles in front of us lost control when his brakes went out.  First, he swerved way over on the left shoulder and almost took out an electric pole.  Then, he crossed both lanes of traffic to run into a dirt embankment.  The Siekberts were headed the opposite direction on their way to their church, and that truck crossed both lanes of traffic right in front of them.  Praise the Lord for His protection!  We had a good service this evening as well with thirteen in attendance.  

Gilbert was talking about a movie that he just watched.  He said, "The man was driving, and he stopped breathing.  He probably had Typhoid."  I told him that he probably had a heart attack.  He said, "Well, you stopped breathing when you had Typhoid."

Tonight, during testimony time at church, Danny said, "I praise the Lord for Fante songs."  We have been learning "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" in Fante in the evening services.  Danny is starting to catch on.  

Bonnie was singing "Happy Birthday" like they sing it at school.  At the end, she said, "Peep, peep, hooray!"  They say, "Hip, hip, hooray!," but Bonnie thinks it is "Peep, peep" because of their accent.

Joe has to go to the Immigration's office in the morning to see if they will extend our visas since we are working on the quota paperwork.  Pray that it will all work out and that we won't have to pay for the ninety-day extensions.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
