Bonjour,

Joe said that church went well this morning. There was one saved in the morning service. I came down with a migraine last night and was not able to go this morning.

Gilbert was playing with a ball today. He was throwing it to me, but he threw it past me. Just as he bent down to get it, a lizard ran out right next to him. He jumped and ran back over to me. He grabbed his chest and said, “Scared! Lizard!” Then, we had to go on a lizard hunt with Gilbert cheering me on all the while. The lizard finally went back outside of his own accord.

Everyone took a good Sunday afternoon nap. Then, we all went to church this evening. My head is still hurting, but it is a lot better than it was last night.

On the way to church, Bob Engelhart called from the village where he goes on Sundays. He could not find a taxi to bring them back, and he was supposed to preach at the Anyama church tonight. So, we went to get him. We got to church a few minutes late but in time for the message.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
