W’apow mu e,
This morning, Sammy, a boy from church, came over to play. He stayed until lunch time. The kids had fun playing with him. Gilbert came in and told me that Sammy said he was going to quit speaking English to him and only speak Fante. Then, Sammy told him to take something inside in Fante; Gilbert was so excited because he understood what Sammy was saying.
After lunch, the kids were supposed to take a nap. No one actually went to sleep.
Joe went into town to give another missionary some paperwork.
I swam with the kids this afternoon. Then, Joe, Martin, and L.F. played Badminton with the kids while I got supper ready. Our Olympians were in training once again. Danny had quite the swing.
Danny fell asleep around 7:30 in a chair. Bonnie kept parading into the living room with goofy clothes on; she was doing anything she could to stay awake. She nodded off a couple times. Gilbert kept coming to report that Danny and Bonnie were both asleep; then, he would come back to say that Bonnie was awake again.
