Bonjour,

Joe left the house about 4:45 this morning to go get Mack Siekbert.  They came back to the house and got the other vehicle.  Then, they were off to the border.  They got to the border town a couple hours before the guy who was meeting them did.  Dao came and took our old vehicle back to Ivory Coast.  Then, Joe, Mack, and Martin headed back to Takoradi.  They stopped and had lunch at a place by the ocean.  
It rained here this morning.  I wasn't sure if anyone would come for Bible Club.  We had nineteen in spite of the rain.  We had the Bible Club on the porch.
Dan started four other Bible Clubs today.  There weren't many out at the soccer fields today because of the rain, but he did have a few at each place.  
Joe got back around 3:30.  Charlie brought his kids down to the field to play.  It stopped raining just after Bible Club this morning and was quite humid this afternoon.
I attempted to make some corn chips for nachos for supper, but they did not turn out very well. I won't use that recipe again!
The boys have been busy working on some Hidden Picture Puzzle books that we got in a package yesterday.  Gilbert found everything on one page, and he was so proud of himself.  Danny and I did another 100 piece puzzle tonight.  Gilbert helped us for a minute; then, he went back to his hidden pictures.
Joe is very tired after driving from one end of the country to the other in the past three days.  Pray that he will get some good rest tonight and will be ready to go again in the morning.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
