Bonjour!

We had a big storm this morning. By church time, it had stopped raining; but the attendance was way down because of the rain.

Joe taught all of the adults for Sunday School. The normal teacher for the main class was there, but he is taking some medicine that makes him dizzy. So, he asked if Joe could teach in the auditorium.

I took Gilbert and Danny to the children’s class. Gilbert did well during Sunday School. When there are five minutes left of the class, they ring a bell. Then, when class is supposed to be over, they ring the bell again. When the first bell rang, Gilbert got excited. He thought it was time to go. I told him that we had to wait a few more minutes. When the second bell rang, he jumped up and was ready to go find Daddy. I told him that the teacher was going to pray; then, we could leave. So, Gilbert bowed his head and closed his eyes really tight. As soon as the man said, “Amen,” Gilbert took off with Mrs. Davis to go find Daddy. I was following behind with Danny in the car seat.

Gilbert had a rough time during the morning service. He isn’t feeling very well today. Joe ended up taking Gilbert out to the car during the preaching.

The service in Sekondi went well this evening. There were 19 in attendance. I had nursery duty with the boys.

Our power is supposed to go off tonight. So, I thought I would get this sent while the power is still on.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
