Bonjour,
This morning, Joe went into Abidjan with Dan. They worked on getting Dan's car papers to cross the border. They got back just before supper time. Everything was business as usual in town today. Tomorrow, the three presidents who came last week are supposed to return to talk to both presidents here and to try to convince Gbagbo to step down one last time.
I worked on putting the Christmas stuff away today. I got the tree taken down and all the ornaments put away. I still have a few more decorations in the living room that need to come down.
We went down for naps today, but not much sleeping took place. Danny was the only one who actually took a nap.
While I was getting supper ready, Bonnie was standing on the stool in the kitchen. She had one of my recipe cards and was holding it up like she was reading it and was singing. She was singing her version of "Stop and Let me Tell You." She sang, "Let me stop and tell you what the word has done for me." Then, she went on to another recipe card and wanted me to sing with her.
Gilbert and Danny have been asking a lot of questions about people that don't have Jesus in their heart and die and go to hell. Danny keeps asking me, "Mom, is Pharaoh burning? What about the Egyptians, Mom? They weren't good people. I don't want to burn, Mom."
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
