Bonjour,
Kristine volunteered to keep the kids this morning. I went visiting with Joe. The first few people that we tried to visit were not home, but we had a couple good visits toward the end. Joe got to witness to two young adults for the second time.
I needed to get candy for Bible Club and church. So, Joe took me to lunch. Then, we stopped at the store. It is a little hole-in-the-wall store with things stacked from floor to ceiling. They were stocking the shelves yesterday. The stockers were carrying such large stacks that they could not see where they were going. I had a near miss with several of them.
When we got home, Kristine had the kids down for naps. But, they weren't asleep. The Bible Club kids remembered that we had changed it to Saturdays. They were here at noon, and it wasn't supposed to start until 4:00. Our kids wanted to go outside to play. They never did go to sleep.
I went out about 3:30. We played some games. April had taught them Red Rover, but the kids renamed it to "Run Over." Then, we tried, Duck, Duck, Goose. The Bible club kids thought it was "Buck, buck, doose!" We had fifteen kids for Bible club today.
Kristine had offered to make supper tonight since I had Bible club. She made BBQ chicken, rice, corn, rolls, and peach cobbler. YUMMY!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
