Bonjour!

This morning, we went to the Anyama church. There were more people there today than there were last week. Matt Litson preached this morning; he did a good job.

This afternoon, some of us took naps. Dad isn’t taking naps because he is having trouble sleeping at night still.

We went to Abbe for church this evening. It is a village about thirty minutes away. We got there a little before 5:00 and found out their service doesn’t start until 6:00. Mom and I sat in front of the pastor’s house with the boys. Dad and Joe walked with the pastor to make a visit.

On the way to Abbe, we saw that there had been a bad accident there recently. When the guys went to make the visit, they found out that the accident took place yesterday. Two people from the village of Abbe and ten from the village of Azaugie were killed in the accident. Three other passengers were badly wounded.

We made it back home safely. The power has gone off a couple times tonight. Gilbert gets so excited when the power comes back on. He had gone to bed, but he woke up to cheer when the fan came back on.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
