Bonjour,

We had a good day at church. There were 97 in attendance this morning.
Joe preached the morning message. There were three saved at the close
of the service. One of the girls that got saved was Esther; she came
last week for the first time.

I had 22 in my class today. One of the ladies held Bonnie for me.
Bonnie took a little nap. Gilbert and Danny both wanted to help hold
the pictures for my story, but they didn't want to give the pictures
back when it was time to move on. I woke up with a stiff neck today;
singing Father Abraham was a bit painful today. : )

After naps, we headed back for the evening service. There were 26 in
attendance tonight. While Joe was praying at the close of the service,
Danny spotted a cow outside the door. Danny pointed the cow out to
Gilbert and then started mooing during the prayer. That boy!

After the service, we all went to Nicole's house. She is a lady in the
church; her father died this morning. Nicole wasn't home, but we
visited with her husband and her mother for a few minutes.

We also got an update on Sophie today, the girl who was tested for
Tuberculosis. She doesn't have Tuberculosis; she has pneumonia and is
on an antibiotic.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
