Bonjour,
We had a good day at church. There were 70 in attendance this morning. We had 11 in our class. Lenell helped me today. Danny took a nap in her lap while I was teaching.
Matt preached at the Anyama church this morning. Joe taught the adult Sunday school class and preached in the morning service. A girl came forward for salvation at the end of the service. Joe and Matt will go visit her on Wednesday to talk to her.
For the past couple days, Danny has been favoring his right foot. When I was putting his shoes on this morning, I discovered a big blood blister on the inside of his big toe. The bottom of the toe was bruised; he must have dropped something on it. We drained the blister this morning and kept a sock on his foot. By the time we got home from church, it wasn’t looking too good. So, I kept the boys home tonight to let the toe dry out and to try to keep it from getting infected. When Joe got home, he doctored up the toe, put a bandaid on it, and put a sock on over that to keep the bandaid on.
The service this evening went well too. It rained all through the service. Rain on the tin roof makes it a little difficult to hear. When the rain got really loud, they would sing a song or two. Then, when it slacked off, they went back to the message.
Lenell rode with the Engelharts. They were taking someone home after church and got stuck in the mud. Joe went to help them, but some people had already pushed them out by the time that he got there.
Please pray that the container will be processed tomorrow and released by customs so that it can be delivered on Tuesday. The Litsons leave a week from Wednesday. They have some things in the container as well. If we can get it all taken care of this week, it would be a blessing.
