Bonjour!

We had planned to leave early this morning for Ghana. I wasn’t feeling

well. I rested in the morning, and we left after lunch. Gilbert had fun

playing with the boys. Joe enjoyed talking to Dan.

We made it home safely without any problems. We got back home around 20:00.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny

Bonjour!

Church went well this morning. As soon as we pulled up to the church both

this morning and this evening, Gilbert started saying, “Sing!” He likes to

flip through the song book and act like he is singing.

We all took naps this afternoon. We are a little tired from our trip

yesterday.

There were 23 at church this evening. Twenty of them rode in our vehicle. We

had both car seats in the middle seat. We took Danny out of his seat, and I

held him to make a little more room.

A demain,

Bonjour!

We found out this morning that the power schedule has changed again. It

will be off for 12 hours, on for 48, off for 12, on for 24, and so on.

The Bible Institute is just down the street from our house; so, we were

without power there this morning as well. Our classes went well this

morning.

Gilbert started saying, “Love you” this morning. When Joe was going out the

door for his class, Gilbert said, “Bye. Love you.” Then, when I put Gilbert

down for his nap, he told me “Love you” too.

Joe went into town to run errands this afternoon. Danny woke up just as he

was leaving. Gilbert slept, and Danny played. He can really get around in

the walker now.

We aren’t sure if the internet café will have power or not. But, Joe is

headed there to see if he can send e-mail.

He was able to get some sent, but the computers were working very slowly. For

some reason, this e-mail wouldn’t send. So, we’ll try it again tomorrow.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
