W'apow mu e, 

Joe had a good day with David Sloan.  They took Dr. Vineyard to the airport and then did some sightseeing.  They went to Joppa.  Joe is getting ready to board his flight to Ethiopia.  If all goes well with his flights, he will come on home tomorrow afternoon.  Hooray!

Gilbert was up in the night with his ear hurting.  I gave him more medicine, and he went back to sleep.  He has been in quite a bit of pain today too; hopefully the medicine will kick in soon.  

Dan has been sick this week.  I thought he probably wasn't coming out here for Bible Club today.  So, I went down to the field and did Bible Club.  We had twelve today.  Just after we finished, Dan came.  He had done the two Bible Clubs in town, and they went a little longer than normal.  Dan played outside with the kids for a while before he left.

We had a picnic lunch outside under the gazebo.  The kids thought that was great!

Everyone took a nap this afternoon.  Gilbert's ear is still giving him trouble.  Danny and Bonnie both have a bad cough.  

I made pizza for supper.  During supper, the boys were talking about the addition families that they have learned.  Gilbert said that he is on the thirteen addition family.  Danny said that he is on the ten addition family.  Bonnie said, "Well, I know the Consford family; there is one Daddy, one Mommy, one Gilbert, one Danny, and one Bonnie."

Nantsew yie!
