Bonjour,

The power went off a little before 1:00 this morning. Gilbert and
Bonnie both woke up, but Danny stayed asleep. The power was off for
about an hour. Joe was just getting ready to fire up the generator when
the power came back on.

Church went well this morning. There were 76 in attendance. Mr. Omega
didn't come today; keep praying for him.

Joe taught his Sunday school class and then preached in the morning
service. They combined all of the children's classes today. Danny was
running a fever this morning due to the two molars that are coming in.
So, I stayed at home with the children.

We gave Danny medicine all day. His fever had come down, and he was
feeling a little better by church time tonight. We all went to church
this evening. Joe preached at the Anyama church tonight. He preached a
good sermon.

After church, Joe took Bob Engelhart to get fuel for his vehicle. The
stations in Anyama are all out fuel for some reason. Bob's vehicle was
completely empty. They rode to church with us this evening. We visited
with Lenell until Joe and Bob got back.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
