Bonjour,

We all went to Bassam today. There was a bad wreck on the way there
this morning; so, the traffic was backed up.

Joe and Dan went to Bonoua to make visits while the children and I
stayed with Jennifer and the boys. They visited Paul, one of the new
converts, today; he has been sick.

I listened to Justin read while Jennifer quizzed Nathan for a spelling
test. Justin was reading The Little Red Hen. Gilbert and Danny started
out in the school room, but they didn't stay for long. Bonnie stayed in
there with us.

Jennifer made a delicious lunch, as usual. We had a good time of
fellowship.

We stopped at the store on the way home to get things for my baking day
tomorrow. They had decorated for Christmas at the store. Gilbert said,
"I'm so glad Christmas is here." He and Danny ooed and awed over each
decoration. We picked up some pizzas for supper.

Last night, our water went off. We found out today that the water is
off in all of Anyama and that it will be off for at least a week. Our
tank is full, but our pump quit working. So, we don't have a way to
pump water into the house from the tank. Joe is going to look for a new
pump in the morning. Please pray that the water will come back on
sooner than expected.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
