Bonjour,

This morning, Joe went visiting with Marcel.  They had some good visits.

Lenell went visiting with Simone.  They had some good visits as well.

The Litson girls came over to play this morning.  They are packing up for their May 7 departure.  So, most of their toys have been put away.  They had a great time playing with the boys.

After lunch, we got a short nap in.  Then, we headed to the church.  There was a ladies meeting at the Anyama church today.  The guys had a soccer game at the Belleville church.  For once, the ladies meeting got over early.  We had to wait for the soccer players to return.  Joe is a bit sunburned.  He will probably be sore tomorrow from his soccer game today.

The ladies meeting went well.  There were 24 ladies there today.  That was a really good turn out.

The boys are now playing ball with “Aunt Mell.”  They read several books first.  Then, they decided to play ball.

Matt is preaching at the Anyama church tomorrow morning.  So, Joe will be teaching the adults Sunday school class and preaching in the morning service.  This is the same thing he will be doing when the Litsons are gone; so, this will be a trial run.  Lenell is going to come with us to help me with my class.  That way when I am gone for a couple weeks when I have the baby, she will be there to teach the class.
