Bonjour,

This morning, Joe and Bob Engelhart went to Abidjan to pick up Matt's
vehicle from the painter and dropped our vehicle off. They ran a few
other errands as well. They picked up the boys from the Machs' house
before they headed home.

Gilbert and Danny did very well at the Machs' house. They sat and "did
school" with the other children. Becky said that they sat quietly,
colored, and did some puzzles. They got to sleep in the tent in Luc's
bedroom. They thought that was great until Luc and Danny fell asleep
before Gilbert, and Gilbert got squished out. He said that he just got
in Luc's bed because there was no room for him in the tent. Danny has
stuck to me like glue since they got home.

Lenell helped me pack all day. We got the kitchen and pantry packed up
today. Dan came out to get two more trailer loads of our stuff.
Jennifer sent a meal for us. Margie kept Bonnie most of the day again.
It is such a blessing to have missionary friends who are so helpful.

Joe brought lunch home for us. After lunch, we went over to the
Engelharts' house for a few minutes. Gilbert decided to stay with
Margie and Bonnie. Danny only wanted to stay if I was staying. He came
back and helped me and Lenell for awhile; then, he took a nap.

After supper, Lenell and I did some more work in the office. Lenell got
everything in the desk packed while I sorted papers.

Tomorrow, Bonnie has to get shots. So, we are going to take a break
from our packing and spend the morning in town.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
