Bonjour,

On the way to church this morning, Gilbert was talking to people that he saw in the road. He was saying, “Watch out, boys! Gonna get you!”

We had a good day at church today. I was in the nursery during Sunday school and church this morning. The lady who normally works in there was back today, but there were too many children for her to handle them all by herself. We had eleven children that there were three and under. I think five of them were under one year old. So, we had our hands full. During the closing prayer, one little boy took off with another boy’s shoes. The other lady had to go hunt him down to try to get the shoes back.

Joe preached in the morning service. He said that it went well.

I was starting to get a migraine this afternoon. I took some medicine and went to bed. The boys and I stayed home tonight. I think I may have caught it in time because the headache is starting to let up a little. Joe said that the evening service went well.

Please pray for the family of Johnny Todd, a missionary in Ghana. He was killed in a car accident last night. He had three Ghanaians with him, and they all died also. Please pray for their families as well.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
