W'apow mu e,
Joe went visiting this morning. He talked to one of the ladies who recently got saved about being baptized tomorrow. Brother Evans and his church in Inchaban will be coming to our church tomorrow morning to baptize some who have been saved there recently. Two ladies in our church are supposed to get baptized tomorrow.
The kids helped do some cleaning around the house this morning. They got a lot of playing in. They also did their homework. They have been after me to measure them on the growth chart. Danny is half an inch short of being 4 feet tall. Gilbert is two inches behind him. Bonnie is six inches shorter than Gilbert. They were proud that they had all grown at least an inch since the last time we measured a few months ago.
Joe decided today to go ahead and fill the pool back up since the guy who was going to professionally seal and paint the pool returned to Europe after suffering a heatstroke. The kids were so excited. They wanted to make sure that they got up from their nap in time to play in the pool a little before we went up to the church.

We went up to the church at 4:00 in case any children who have gotten saved recently came for the baptism class. No one came for the class, but there were plenty of children running around. The plumbers had finished working in the other bathroom. Joe cleaned the bathrooms to get them ready for church tomorrow. I practiced the keyboard until it was time for Christmas program practice. The children are doing well with the poems and songs.
We picked up some Lebanese pizzas for supper and brought them home. We walked around in the grocery store next to the restaurant while we were waiting for the pizzas. A little girl was running around in the store grabbing things off of the shelves. She made an impact on our kids. They have been talking about the "naughty little girl from the store" all evening.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
