Bonjour,

It has been another day without power.  The electric company said that the wires had burned and that a new transformer had been ordered; they did not want to replace the wires since a transformer was coming.  The generator is having a little trouble keeping up, but we have been able to keep the refrigerator and freezer contents cold so far.
The other two men from Rock of Ages arrived this morning.  The generator down at the other house stopped working during the night last night.  That house is also out of water because there is a problem with the pump.  Joe was going to work on the pump today, but with no power or generator, he had to wait on that.  So, the men went to a hotel.  They will just be here three more nights; they are headed to Liberia.
Joe met with a couple of men in the church this afternoon.  
I have two bites on my legs that have turned into cellulitis again.  I did a little bit of sorting but tried to stay off of my legs as much as possible.
The kids had a good day at school.  They are mostly finished with their exams; so, they got to do a lot of playing today.  
We had a good church service this evening.  Brother Peter Chamberland preached.  We had several visitors tonight; they were teenage boys that LF and Francis invited on their way to church.  We had twenty in attendance tonight.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
