Bonjour,

Joe took the kids to school.  He came back home for a few minutes.  While he was here, he discovered that someone broke into the Scripture Center.  It is a building up on the hill that has tracts, John and Romans, Bibles, etc.  They broke into the part where Evans had been living; it is vacant now, and there was not anything in there to be taken.  Joe made sure that LF was going to be here.  Then, he went into town to get the materials for the church ceiling.  They got started on that project today.  Joe was up at the church all day.
I got some things done around the house – cleaning, laundry, etc.
After school, Joe brought the kids home.  Then, he went back up to the church for a while.  I took the kids swimming and then got supper ready.
Gilbert was the only one with homework tonight.  He just had to go over his spelling words.  Then, I had both boys do some reading.  Gilbert is still sounding out the words, but he is moving faster than he was.  Danny is just starting with three letter words.  Bonnie was bouncing all over the place.  She was playing with her imaginary students.
Just before bed time, the phase for the bedrooms went off.  The kids' AC is on a different phase, and we have an oscillating fan that we can put in our room.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
