Bonjour,

Today there were supposed to be manifestations in Abidjan due to the
fuel and taxi prices going up. So, we stayed home.

Joe and the boys went swimming this morning. I got a few things done in
the house while Bonnie slept.

We had a barbecue. The Engelharts and Lenell came for lunch.

Missions With the Consfords

Margie and Lenell stayed and visited all afternoon. They took turns
holding Bonnie. Lenell gave me a haircut.

The ladies went swimming this afternoon. Joe went over to visit Bob.
Bonnie has a tube with a canopy on top. We propped her up in there with
a towel around her. She slept for the first few minutes. But, when the
water started soaking in, she got upset. I took her back inside. I
gave her a bath to try to warm her up. Then, I put some warm pajamas on
her. She calmed down quickly after that.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
