Bonjour,

This morning, Joe went to the mechanic. The mechanic has been saying

that he is coming to put the clutch and the radiator in for several days

but hasn’t shown up. So, Joe went to get him and the parts. But, they

discovered that they had purchased the wrong radiator. Joe went with

one of the apprentices to try to get it exchanged. But, the boss is

going to have to do it.

When Joe got back, the mechanic was working on Tammy’s vehicle

tightening things down. He had discovered that her oil filter was

leaking oil. Joe went into Anyama to get an oil filter so that Tammy

and Lenell could head to Bassam.

The boys “fished” in their bucket for awhile this morning. They came in

for dry clothes. Then, they played inside. I got a few things done

was nice to have a cool day for a change. We swam for a little while

after naps.

Joe and Gilbert went to check on the progress at Lenell’s apartment.

The carpenter is putting in the ceiling right now. Then, Gilbert played

soccer for a little while before they headed home for supper.

Danny helped me with the dishes while Joe and Gilbert were gone. We

ended up with quite a bit of water on the floor, but he did manage to

keep some water in the sink.

Tomorrow, we will head to Bonoua. Joe and Dan are going to start going

door to door tomorrow. The boys and I will stay with Jennifer. She has

the Mach children as well. Gilbert is excited about seeing all of the

kids. Tomorrow afternoon, we are having cake and ice cream for Becky

Mach’s birthday. Lenell and Tammy will come for that as well.

I forgot to mention in yesterday’s e-mail that Joe got to lead two boys

to the Lord after the morning service yesterday.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
