W'apow mu e,
Gilbert said that he did not feel very well this morning. He did not have a temperature and wasn't throwing up. So, we all went to church. Just before Sunday School started, Gilbert threw up. He spent most of the morning sitting outside my classroom on the sidewalk with his water bottle. He was a trooper and made it through the morning. He did not eat much at lunch time and slept all afternoon. He was feeling a little better when he woke up but had a bad headache and waves of nausea throughout the evening.
We had a good church service this morning. An electrician from Accra attends Calvary Baptist Church in Accra. He is doing some work at a hotel in town and saw our church sign, Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. So, he decided to come to our church this morning. He brought a friend with him. His friend, George, raised his hand for salvation and came straight forward to be saved. That was a blessing.

I had ten in my Sunday School class and thirty-two in my junior church. They were wound up this morning. A lot of the children in that class have not started school yet; therefore, they don't speak or understand English. Some who come faithfully have learned some of the songs and are starting to participate more. I am working on the Fante but am struggling with that.
I kept the kids at home tonight since Gilbert still wasn't feeling well. When Joe got home from church, he was sick with the same symptoms that Gilbert has. So, it must be some type of virus. Hopefully they won't share it with all of us.
Nantsew yie!
