Bonjour,

Joe rode into Anyama with Bob Engelhart this morning. Joe checked on
our vehicle. Then, he rode out to Donkoi with Bob to take care of a
problem out there. Bob has a construction project going on out there,
and things weren't being done correctly.

The boys and I had a great lizard chase this morning. I don't mind the
little lizards that live inside; they eat bugs. But, I don't like it
when the bigger "outdoor" lizards come in underneath the door. This one
went round and round the living room today. We finally got him to go
out the door. Bonnie was in her walker watching us. She thought it
looked like great fun.

Missions With the Consfords

After naps, we headed to church. We started out with seven people and
ended up with thirty-two by the end of the service. Joe preached a good
sermon.

After church, we stopped to talk to the mechanic. He had planned to
take our vehicle for inspection early in the morning. But, they found
one more oil leak when they were putting everything back together. The
welder had already closed for the evening. So, they will get that done
first thing in the morning and then go for the inspection. Please pray
that it passes the inspection on the first try.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
