Bonjour,

We did not get an e-mail sent yesterday because we ran out of internet
time. We are back in business this evening.

Yesterday, I still wasn't feeling very well. But, we had school. Joe
went to make some visits in the afternoon.

At supper, the boys were having a discussion about the Lord's prayer.
Gilbert learned that in school this year, and they have been reciting it
every day. Danny wanted to know why they say "Amen" (ah-men) at the end
instead of "Amen" (with a long a). Gilbert said, "Danny, we are saying,
"All men," not "Oh man!"

Today, Joe drove Kristine and Becky to the border town. They needed to
take money to an Ivorian. Dr. KB came across the border and met them in
Elubo, Ghana. (Things are not going very well in Ivory Coast.
Different ethnic groups are still fighting against each other even
though Gbagbo has been captured.) They stopped at the Posts' house for
lunch and then headed back to Takoradi. The vehicle had a problem today
with grease coming out of the axle. They were able to get it fixed and
made it back safely.

I did school with the kids this morning. Danny would not sit still
today. He must be having a growth spurt because he just about ate us
out of house and home this morning. Every two minutes, he was hungry
again. He got into a bag of chips that I had set aside for supper, and
that was just about the last straw.

After naps, the kids went up to play with the Luther kids. I went and
talked to April for a little bit. Then, I headed back home to work on
chicken enchiladas for supper. Joe got home about 5:00.

After supper, the kids asked for popcorn. Joe found a new popcorn
recipe on line for pizza popcorn. It was good.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
