Bonjour,

Joe took the mechanic into town this morning.  Then, he went to the revival at Brother Morgan’s church.  From there, he went to our church to load up some things that needed to go to Inchaban for the evangelistic meeting tonight.  Dan helped him with that.  They went to Inchaban and got everything unloaded.  While he was there, the mechanic called and needed help.  Joe went to help him.  He got home about 4:30 and had to leave at 5:00 for the outdoor evangelistic meeting in Inchaban.

The kids and I did some cleaning this morning.  The boys worked on some homework.  Then, they played.  They came and asked me to take a picture.  Gilbert said, “I’m Batman; Danny is Robin, and Bonnie is ‘Batman girl.’”

After naps, we made pizza and brownies.  Then, we played a game of Cadoo.  Gilbert was the winner.   
There is a group of American pastors in Ghana who have been visiting prisons and schools.  They were going to help with the meeting tonight but got stuck in traffic; they got there for the end of the service.  Joe said that the meeting went very well.  He got to do some “street preaching” and had a ball.  Dan interpreted into Fante. There were some children who came at first, and some adults came later.  One man came forward to be dealt with about salvation.  The children and I may go tomorrow night if Danny and Bonnie are feeling better.
