Bonjour,

Joe took Romeo, Marcel, and five boys from the church out to cut down
bamboo for the bamboo structure. They cut down about 140 pieces that
were 1.5 meters long each. That is about half of what they need. They
will go get some more tomorrow.

The boys "helped" me change the sheets on all the beds today. It is a
big undertaking when they both help, but we finally got it done! Bonnie
sat on the floor and played.
