Bonjour,
This morning, we headed to Bonoua. Joe dropped the children and I off at the Posts’ house. Dan went with him to Bonoua. They were able to make some more contacts there today. They passed out some tracts and John and Romans.
Jennifer and I had a good time of fellowship while the boys played. Bonnie was in her playpen when one of the boys wasn’t holding her. If she made a tiny little peep, someone was right there to pick her up. They brought a toy out for Bonnie. Gilbert and Danny showed her how it worked. They sent the toy home with us.
We ate lunch with the Posts. Then, we headed to the US Embassy to get the paperwork to get Bonnie’s passport and born-abroad birth certificate. I hadn’t been to the new embassy here; it is very nice. We then went to get Bonnie’s passport photos made. The man didn’t quite know how to do it for a baby. I ended up sitting on the stool holding Bonnie; then, we waited for about twenty minutes while he cut me out of the picture. The embassy is only open during certain hours. We will take the paperwork back on Thursday afternoon. Joe, Bonnie, and I all have to be there. Joe and I have to swear that she is our child.
When we got home, the boys went swimming. Bonnie has been fussy all evening. She just went to sleep. She has been awake most of the day; maybe she will sleep well tonight.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
