Bonjour,

Gilbert came in about 3:00 this morning to tell us that he puked in his
bed. We got him cleaned up and put him at the end of our bed. Each
time that he started to stir, we took him to the bathroom quickly.
After 9:00 this morning, he didn't throw up anymore. He fell asleep on
the couch about 11:00 and slept until almost 4:00. He was feeling
better when he woke up.

Joe went visiting this morning. They had some good visits. A Muslim
man that has his own mosque approached them in the street. He was
wanting to debate with them. When they walked away, Romeo told Joe that
he had given that man many things to think about.

Missions With the Consfords

Ghana Field Journal — Serving the Lord for Over 25 Years

These daily journal entries document the Consfords’ missionary life across Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Browse the full archive or join the Consfords as a prayer partner.

They also visited with some elderly men. In the conversation, they
asked Joe about his wife. He said that I was going to have a baby in a
couple weeks. They were astounded that we would want to have our baby
in a different country because then our baby couldn't run for
president. We thought that was funny.

The boys and I took a nap. Joe has worked in the office most of the
afternoon and evening.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
