Bonjour,

Church went well today. There is a lot of sickness right now, and a lot
of people have gone to the village while school is out. There were 65
in attendance this morning.

Joe taught the adult Sunday school class and preached the morning
message. I taught the younger children today. Lenell is sick with
malaria.

There were 23 children in my class, and I didn't have a helper. Usually
one of the ladies comes out to help, but the one who was scheduled
forgot to come out today. It was interesting, but we made it.

Joe and Romeo had to go take care of a problem after church. Three
ladies in the church were all mad at each other. They got everything
worked out.

Joe preached at the Anyama church this evening. Danny is working on
another tooth; he had a slight fever and the diarrhea this evening.
Bonnie is congested again. So, I kept the children at home.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
