Bonjour,
 
We had a good day at church today.  The Sunday school teacher said that the boys have been doing very well in Sunday school.  Today, they both quoted Ephesians 2:8-9.  She asked me if I had helped them.  I told her that I didn’t even know they were learning those verses.  So, at least they are paying attention.  Bonnie is still getting the hang of it.  She was saying her verses on the way home, “For by grace 2 verses 8 and 9 saved 2.”
 
Just before church this evening, Dan Post called Joe.  He is headed into Ivory Coast at 5:30 in the morning.  Joe needed to go tomorrow to renew our car insurance.  He took public transport this evening to where Dan is so that he can ride with him tomorrow.  Joe is hoping to be able to get insurance in Noe, the border town and then head back here on the public transport.  If not, he will go on in to Bassam with Dan and come back on Tuesday.  Please pray for their safety.  KB, an Ivorian doctor, is going to meet them at the border to travel with them. 
 
Bonnie came to tell me a few minutes ago that Gilbert called her sign language.  Where do they come up with these things?
 
A demain,
 
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
