This morning, Joe, Brother Davis, and Brother Barrow went to the funeral for Evans' sister.  Evans is a faithful man in the church who is working on starting a church in Inchaban, a nearby town.  Evans' family is unsaved.  The funeral was at the Catholic church.  It was rather wild and lasted for almost three hours.

Kristine made all the meals and did all of the dishes today as a birthday present.  Since my birthday is on Sunday, she wanted to do that today.  But, she has the meals planned for tomorrow too.  Joe said that I should be glad Kristine is here because he definitely would not have done all of that.  : )  

I mopped the floors this morning to clean up from the flour spill yesterday.  I also did some laundry.

After lunch, Joe and the men went into town for a little while.  The Bible club kids came in the rain today.  They were here at 1:00 instead of 4:00, but we went ahead and had it at 1:00 since they were all here.  Then, the kids and I took a nap.  

Kristine made a delicious birthday supper. Just as we were getting ready to have cake, the power went off.  When Joe called the power company, they said that it would come back on for some people, but that it would remain off for others for "load shedding."  (They did load shedding when we were here about five years ago.  The power would be off for twelve hours and then on for twenty-four hours.  It started on my birthday when they did it five years ago.)  Thankfully, the power came back on about five minutes later.

We had cake and ice cream and then opened presents.  Joe and the men visited for a while.  I helped the kids with baths.  

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
