Bonjour,

We had a good day at church today. The national pastor is out of town. Joe ran interference during Sunday school; then, he preached during the morning service. I was in the nursery, but he said that the service went well.

We had seven in the nursery during Sunday school and nine during church. I have started taking some charts with numbers, shapes, colors, etc. The children seem to really like those. Danny doesn’t like it when I am holding those charts. One of the other ladies tried to keep him occupied while I taught the Bible story and did some review with our charts.

We had a couple chickens that kept trying to come to our class today. Gilbert kept chasing them out yelling, “Get out a here, chickens!”

Church went well this evening too. Romeo, one of the institute graduates, preached this evening.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
