W’apow mu e, 
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!
I kept the kids home today.  Gilbert’s ear seems to be doing a little better this evening.  Bonnie and Danny’s coughs are starting to improve.  Bonnie has several spots that have turned into impetigo; she is constantly picking at scabs.  
Joe was a couple hours late getting into Accra.  A fight broke out on the flight from Ethiopia to Accra; so, they hand to land in Nigeria before going on to Accra.  He was on his way home by 2:30 this afternoon.  He got stuck in traffic coming out of Accra.  He got home a little before 8:00 this evening.  We were all very happy to see Daddy.  
It was raining when we got up this morning, and it is still raining.  Joe said that the road was flooded, but the bridge was still passable.  This afternoon when Bonnie got up from her nap and saw that it was still raining, she said, “What is God doing around this place? Is He going to flood our world again?”
Nantsew yie!

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
