Bonjour,
This morning, Joe went visiting with Marcel, the man that Joe is training to take over the Sunday school class eventually. They visited the people in their class.
Matt went visiting with Romeo. While they were out, they stopped to talk to a man who has some property. It is about 500 yards from where the church is presently located. It is a walled piece of property with three buildings on the property. A church had been meeting there awhile back, but it has been vacant for awhile.
The man said that he had let the last church use the property for free for three years on the condition that they would take care of the upkeep of the grounds and make some repairs on the existing buildings. After three years, they had done nothing. When he told them they would have to leave the property, they camped out in front of his house for three days and prayed that he would die. So, he is a bit leery of all churches right now. Matt thinks that if they keep talking to him that they could eventually work something out. Please pray about this land. It would provide much more space than where the church currently meets.
The boys seem to be feeling a little better. Gilbert still has the diarrhea. Joe said that the stomach virus is going around. He said that at least one person in every household that they visited today had the stomach virus too.
We all went to church tonight. Gilbert had to leave once to go to the bathroom; but other than that, we did fine.
