Bonjour,
Joe left the house before 6:00 this morning to take the men who have been visiting to the airport. He went from there to Bible Clubs. Today, they did my Bible Club too. I have been having so many kids, and the older boys have been giving me trouble. Joe said that they would take over for a while.
The kids helped me do some cleaning. Then, they were outside riding bikes. Danny had his training wheels taken off a couple days ago. Gilbert decided that he wanted to take his off too. He got one of them off, and I helped him with the other one. The chain had come off of Bonnie's bike; I got that put back on too. Bonnie knocked the bike over while my finger was in the chain. Then, Gilbert ran into me with his bike after we removed the training wheels. Gilbert had several wrecks today; I told him that was normal when you are learning to balance on the two wheels.
I have been trying to get caught up on laundry. I am getting closer to empty baskets.
After supper tonight, the kids dyed eggs. We have brown eggs here. One of the colors in the kit that someone sent was gold; it didn't do much for brown eggs. So, we just dipped the gold ones in another color too. We had fun doing that.
I need to get the Easter baskets ready. Then, I am headed to bed.
We have a sunrise service tomorrow at 7:00 with three preachers. Then, in the afternoon, we are having activities and preaching out in the field by the old house. We invited some other churches, but just one is coming – Brother Evans and his church in Inchaban. We have invited a lot of people to come for the afternoon activities; it will be a good opportunity to reach people who would not normally come to church with the gospel.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
