Bonjour,
Joe went out to Bonoua with Dan Post this morning. They met with Paul,
one of the two men that got saved a few weeks ago. He is doing some
discipleship courses. He went with them to make some visits.
Everyone seems to be feeling a little better today. Danny and I are
still coughing. Gilbert has a runny nose.

Joe stopped at the store to pick up a few groceries on his way home.
Just after he got home, a lady in the Anyama church called and said that
she had an urgent problem and needed Joe to come right away. Joe went
and picked up Pastor Ake and headed to the lady's house. Her sister has
double kidney failure and has been going for dialysis twice a week for
the past several months. The whole family has been helping her pay for
it ($300 for each treatment), and now everyone is out of money. Joe had
to tell them that we couldn't help them. He explained that dialysis is
just a temporary solution and that without a transplant (which would
cost $100,000 in advance), she will eventually die. It was a sad
situation.
This evening, Bonnie was entertaining herself. She was cooing away at
the jungle gym. Gilbert loves it when Bonnie makes noises. Danny says,
"What are you doing, Bonnie?" as he gets right in her face.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
