Bonjour,

We had good services today.

It rained most of the night last night. So, we had a puddle right in the doorway of the nursery. Danny kept making a beeline for the puddle every time I put him down. Gilbert is particpating a little more each week. Today, he was repeating the verse in French. He couldn’t say the whole thing all at once, but he would say it in sections. He is learning some of the French songs too. The attendance in our class was down. We had four children for Sunday school and six for church.

We were all ready for naps this afternoon.

About fifteen minutes before church tonight, Joe got a call and was asked if he could preach tonight. The national pastor had gone to another church that was having graduation for their institute today. He didn’t realize that his ride was staying for the evening service. Joe preached a good message.

I have attached a few pictures. Pictures 020, 026, and 031 are pictures of the building with the new roof. That building works great for Sunday school and Junior Church. We are very thankful for the churches that gave to make the roof possible. Picture 033 is the nursery.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
