W'apow mu e,
We did not get an e-mail sent yesterday. Lo is not feeling well. Friday morning, she had a bout with kidney stones and since then she has not felt very well. She has a cold, and now all three kids have the cold too. Lo will try to catch you up later on what went on around here yesterday.
I have been busy running around visiting people in the church. Sin sure does make a mess of peoples lives!
We had a good day at church today. Two men that are with the Rock of Ages group preached at church this morning. One of the men, is a layman in a church in New Hampshire, his name is Tom Wallace. He is about 65 years old and he is as rough as a cob! He preached in Sunday School and I enjoyed it a lot. He spoke about the war inside of his own heart between his old nature and the nature of Christ. I really like to be around Brother Tom! We had one young girl get saved this morning.
Brother Blay's widow, Abena, came to church this morning. Bonnie has taken her as her friend! Abena can't speak a word of English, but that does not stop her and Bonnie from just talking away. I don't know if either one can understand the other, or even if they care, but they sure do laugh a lot!
We went to lunch in town with the group. We had a lot of fun and fellowship!

Brother Davis preached this evening. He is the missionary that started this church. He had to leave Ghana because of his health and he is taking care of his mother who is over 90 years old. We had some good decisions this evening and a good spirit at church.
The kids called Lo's parents and talked to them this evening. It is a lot of fun to listen in on their conversations! Danny was trying to explain how to play Monopoly on the phone. Any similarity between his explication and the rules of the game are coincidental! He did get the game for his birthday though and so, he could take after his namesake Brother Danny Dodson and say, "My game, my rules!"
Gilbert sounds so mature when he talks on the phone. He is growing up too fast!
Bonnie just jabbers away to grandma and grandpa! I hope they understand all the instructions they have been given. There will be a day of inspection from the Queen Mother aka Bonnie!
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
