Bonjour,

This morning, Joe and Gilbert went into Anyama to run a couple errands. They gave Bob Engelhart a ride home. His vehicle is down again. Danny took a nap while they were gone; so, I was able to get a few things accomplished.

Joe mowed the lawn and then worked on getting the pump set up to pump water into the house. There are still a few kinks in that system. So, we have to go outside to get water from the tank right now while the water is off. At least we have water somewhere! The water went off yesterday and is supposed to be off until Saturday.

Missions With the Consfords

Joe played outside with the boys while I got supper ready. Danny was in his walker, and Gilbert was pulling the walker with the dog leash. We got it on video. They both thought that it was great fun.

We are having a picnic tomorrow with all of the missionaries. We are celebrating Jennifer Post’s birthday a little late. It is supposed to be a surprise for her; we’ll see if it worked! I was in charge of getting the food lined up. I have been working on my dishes this evening.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
