Gilbert was running a slight temperature last night.  He did not have a fever this morning.  So, we went on to church.  His head was hurting; maybe it was sinuses.  He made it through the day.

Bonnie and Danny have trouble with putting their shoes on the wrong feet.  This morning when Bonnie was putting her shoes on, I told her that they were on the wrong feet.  She said, "Mom, I wish God made right foot and right foot."  

The attendance was down a little this morning.  One of the young men who was recently saved at Bible Club came back for the third time today; he wants to start helping with Bible Clubs.

I had fourteen in my class today.  The kids helped with the songs.  In junior church, we told the story of the five loaves and two fish.  I cut out little fish and bread for the kids to color.  Since we had some leftover, Danny wanted five loaves and two fish.

We went home, had lunch, took naps, and headed back to church.  We had a good service this evening with thirteen in attendance.  Three people who have not been attending the evening services came tonight; that was a blessing.

One of the ladies in the church is selling bowls.  The kids and I walked to her house after church to look at the bowls.  I bought a few bowls from her.  The kids wanted to see the goats.  Her family also makes bread and sells it.  We watched them roll the dough out for a few minutes.  Bonnie wanted to try some.  On the way back to the church, we had a group of children following us chanting, "Brony, brony, brony!"  ("Brony" is the Fante word for "white man.")  Our boys started chanting back to them, "Bebiny, Bebiny!"  ("Bebiny" is the Fante word for "black man.")  The other chanters were louder than the boys.  

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
