Bonjour,

We got some things done around the house today.  Joe spent most of the morning in the office.

The boys and I took a nap this afternoon.  Joe went with Matt to visit a man in the church who is sick.  The man had gone to the hospital to get his test results; so, they didn’t get to see him.  One of the sons of the man had to go to the hospital this morning; he is having problems with asthma.

The boys were ready to go on a walk this afternoon.  When I heard the dogs barking, I sent Gilbert to look out the gate to see if he could see Margie, Sarah, and the girls.  After a couple of false alarms, we just went ahead and went across the street to see if they were ready.

Margie’s dad and step-mom are in poor health.  She is checking into flying back to the States for a few weeks to be with them.  Please pray for Margie and her parents.

Lenell Smith will arrive a week from today.  She is coming here to work with orphans.  She will be staying with us for the first couple weeks that she is here.  After the Litsons leave, she will be staying at their house until her apartment is ready.  Please pray for Lenell as she says her goodbyes and as she travels.  She will leave the States tomorrow and stay in Paris for a few days before coming here.
