Bonjour,

Joe went up to the church to go visiting. Romeo had to go to a meeting,
and Marcel was not available this morning either. So, Joe came back
home and got the paperwork for Bonnie's birth certificate. He headed
into Abidjan and got that started. The birth certificate should be
ready in a week.

He needed to exchange a voltage regulator that we got when Joe's mom was
here. It took him over an hour to get across the bridge. A bus had
been stolen. The riot police came out and shot the thieves. It
happened right outside the university; so, the university students came
out to protest the shooting of the thieves. Joe took an exit and got
out of that area quickly. He was able to get the regulator exchanged.

This afternoon, Bonnie, the boys, and I took a nap. Joe worked in the
office.

Church was interesting this evening. One man kept doing strange things
all throughout the service. Then, a group of Muslims started praying in
the bamboo structure outside. Romeo went to chase them out. Joe
preached, and the sermon went well. The devil was fighting tonight!

Please continue to pray for my sister, Emily. She went into labor last
night and is still in labor this evening.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
