Bonjour,

Joe went out to Bonoua today. Gilbert rode with him to play with the
Post boys. Joe and Dan went on to Bonoua. Two weeks ago, they had
talked to two university students. They go to a university in Abidjan,
but they are from Bonoua. Today, they talked to them again for almost
two hours. Both of them got saved. One of them was so amazed that we
would come all the way from America just to tell him about Jesus. He
said that he had been trying to stop doing bad things all of his life;
he was so glad that they had come to tell him who could forgive him of
his sin and help him to do what is right. Joe and Dan were very
encouraged; these are the first people that they have seen saved in Bonoua.

Gilbert had fun playing with the Post boys. He said that he went to
school with Justin. Gilbert thinks that school is pretty neat right now
since he doesn't have to do it every day yet. Then, they played outside.

Danny was my helper today. If Bonnie made a peep, he ran to tell me
that Bonnie was crying. Danny played outside for awhile. He kept
coming in to see what was happening inside.

I got some cleaning done today. I also got caught up on some laundry.
I have been drinking lots of water and haven't had any more kidney problems.

Danny and Gilbert were so happy to see each other when Joe and Gilbert
got home. Joe took the boys swimming while I worked on supper.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
