Bonjour,

Joe went up to the church this morning. Then, he came home and worked on translating Sunday School lessons.

This afternoon, we took Gilbert to the doctor. He has the diarrhea again and has had it off and on for the past three weeks. He started him on two different medications, one for bacteria and the other for parasites, to make sure that he gets rid of whatever is in his system.

Missions With the Consfords

Browse the full archive or join the Consfords as a prayer partner.

The doctor weighed both boys. Gilbert weighs 24 lbs, and Danny weighs 21 lbs. I knew that there wasn’t much difference between the two. Danny will be nine months on Thursday!

We ate supper before heading home. Driving through Abidjan traffic is always stressful, especially when it is starting to get dark outside. I usually pray most of the way home. We had several near misses tonight. We always know that people are praying for us when we see how the Lord keeps us safe out on the roads. Thank you for your prayers for us! They really do mean a lot to us.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
