Bonjour!

This morning, I taught my English class. We spent the whole class period

reviewing. The students asked a lot of questions, and I think they

understand a little better now than they did.

Joe moved his Monday evening class to Mondays at 10:30. Brother Davis was

teaching a class at that time. He finished his class before he went back to

the States. So, we teach back to back classes on Monday and Tuesday now. It

We haven’t had one in awhile. Someone said that they weren’t doing the load

started crying. I got up to go find him, and I stepped on a toy with both

came back on. It wasn’t a power-off night after all!

A demain,

Joe, Laura, and Gilbert
