Bonjour,

Bob gave us a ride to church this morning. We left a little early so

that we wouldn’t delay him in going to Donkoi.

Today is Mother’s Day here. All of the ladies wore outfits from their

ethnic group. They all made a dish from their ethnic group as well.

We had Sunday school and the morning service at the normal times. Joe

taught the adult class. We had fifteen in our class for Sunday school.

For church, we only had one junior church. All of the younger kids from

seven down were in our class today. We had 32 out there. There were 75

inside the building. So, we had a total of 107.

I sang a song about mothers during church. I sang it in English and

French. The people seemed to enjoy it. Joe preached a message about

mothers.

Everyone went home to get their food. Lenell, the boys, and I went home

in a taxi. Romeo rode along with us. He needed to pick up some things

in Anyama to take back to Bingerville. Joe stayed at the church and got

everything set up.

One of the other churches in the area puts out a monthly magazine. They

came to interview Joe for the magazine this morning.

We called my mom for her birthday. Gilbert asked if he could go see

Grandma so that he could help her blow out her candles.

Sixty came back for the meal and the afternoon service. Romeo presented

the gifts for the mothers in the afternoon service.

We didn’t have an evening service since there was an afternoon service.

We are taking it easy this evening. It was cloudy today; so, it wasn’t

as hot as it has been. But, we are still a little tired.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
