Bonjour,

We had a good day at church. There were 87 in attendance.

I had 18 in my class for Sunday school. By church time, there were 31.
I had my hands full, but they listened pretty well today.

Joe taught the adult Sunday school class and preached in the morning
service.

Joe had ordered chicken and fries for lunch from the restaurant where he
had lunch yesterday. It was supposed to ready at 11:30; but after
church, the lady said that it would not be ready until 13:00. So, we
went on home. Romeo brought the food out to us when it was ready.

Danny fell asleep on the way home from church. So, he and Gilbert were
not wanting to take a nap. They went down a little after 14:00. Then,
they didn't want to get up when it was time. Bonnie didn't want to
take a nap this afternoon either. She went down about 15:45, and we had
to leave at 16:30.

Joe preached at the Anyama church tonight. It was a good sermon. After
church, we went up to Lenell's apartment for a little while.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
