Bonjour,

Joe went visiting this morning. He stopped at the mechanic to have them
adjust the clutch.

Danny seems to be feeling better for the most part. Bonnie is still a
bit fussy and pulling at her ears. Gilbert has had a fever off and on
today; he still has another day of taking the malaria cure to go. My
ears are hurting a little, but I feel better than I did yesterday.

Joe worked in the office this evening.

Missions With the Consfords

Danny is our best medicine taker. He is done with his medicine, but he
thought he should take something since Gilbert and Bonnie were. Gilbert
is having a hard time getting the malaria medicine down; he thinks that
all medicine should taste good. Bonnie did a little better at taking
her medicine this evening; she usually spits about half of it back out.

When the boys were in the bathtub tonight, Gilbert called me. I went in
there and Danny had gotten bubbles in Gilbert's eyes. I told Danny that
we don't put soap in people's eyes. On my way out the door, I heard
Gilbert say, "Did you heard my Mom, Danny? She said we don't put soap
in eyes!"

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
