W'apow mu e,

Joe took the kids to school. Then, he went into town to get the car

ready for its yearly inspection. The inspection here is much easier

than it was in Ivory Coast. They just check the basics – lights,

horn, etc. The horn has not been working. So, he went to an

electrician first. They had to take the whole steering wheel apart to

fix the problem. After he finished there, he went to the inspection

place. He did not have a little booklet with him that was needed for

recording the inspection. So, he came home to get that. Then, he

went back into town to get the inspection done. He said it took

longer to pay for the inspection than it did for the actual

inspection. He got our car done. Tomorrow, he has to take the

Aarons' vehicle for its inspection.

I tried to get caught up on laundry today after the power was off all

day yesterday. I practiced the keyboard for a while. My sister Amy

called me this afternoon and helped me with the chords that I needed

for the two songs we are doing.

The kids had a good day at school. They rested for a while when they

got home. No one had homework today. We had supper and then got

ready for church. Our power stayed on tonight; it looked like some of

the areas that seem to always have power were on load shedding

tonight.

We had a good church service with ten in attendance. Danny kept

raising his hand to answer questions even when he didn't know the

answer. Gilbert was busy taking notes again.

Nantsew yie!
