Bonjour,

The Engelharts’ vehicle is down again. They rode with us to church on Sunday. Today, Joe offered to take Bob and Brother Hamilton into Abidjan. Joe and Bob both needed to go to the computer repair place, and Brother Hamilton needed to do some souvenir shopping.

When they arrived at the computer place, they found that it was in the process of moving to a different location. But, they were able to get the computers looked at. Our fan has been acting up, but they couldn’t get it do stop while it was there. Joe said that maybe getting jostled around a little helped it. We have put it in a different location so that it won’t get quite as hot.

They did some souvenir shopping. Then, they had Lebanese food for lunch. Brother Hamilton had never had Lebanese food before, but he really liked it. They stopped at the grocery store and then headed home.

I made pizza for lunch today. Gilbert is always happy about eating pizza. Danny makes a beeline for his highchair when he sees the food coming.

Neither of the boys wanted to go down for a nap this afternoon. After Danny went to sleep, I lay down next to Gilbert and got him to go to sleep that way. He likes his “big boy bed” because he can get out of it.

We have been working on Ephesians 6:1 with Gilbert. Tonight, he said the whole verse without any help. He was so excited.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
