Bonjour,

We ate breakfast and then headed out to find a taxi.  April went with us.  We caught a taxi at the station and went to church.  We had a good morning at church.  On the way home, we could not find a taxi that was heading our way.  So, we walked all the way home.  April carried Bonnie the last half of the way.  It was about a forty-minute walk.  We were all hot and tired when we got home.  
We had lunch.  Then, the kids went outside for Bible club.  I got a little nap in.  Bonnie fell asleep outside again.  
At 4:30, we headed out to find a taxi again.  When we got to church, the guy who lives at the church wasn't there, and the gate was locked.  While we were standing there waiting, a bird pooped on Danny's head.  Evans went back to his house to get a key.  We got started a little late.  Prince from the Siekberts' church preached tonight about a willing spirit.  He did a good job.
Pray for Dan Post.  He is sick with malaria.  He started a malaria treatment today.  They will see how he is feeling in the morning.  They may delay their trip back a day or two.
I think I got too hot today. I'm not feeling very well either.  We are all going to head to bed.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
