Bonjour,
Joe was busy running errands this morning. He made a list of things that needed to be done before our company arrives on Friday night. The missionary who started Mt. Calvary Baptist Church (where we are now) in Takoradi is coming along with a pastor. Joe got home just as we were finishing lunch. When he was almost home, the wiring to the car radio caught on fire. He jerked the radio out and was able to get it stopped.
I worked on laundry and cleaning this morning. The kids helped clean. They wiped all the walls down out on the porch.
After lunch, the kids went up the hill with Joe. Our company will be staying in the Luthers' guest room since Kristine is staying in our guest room. The sink was leaking and needed to be fixed. Just as one of the guys lifted the sink, he felt something move. It was a big scorpion. They killed the scorpion, and it didn't sting anyone.
After naps, we had supper and then headed to church. We had a good service with thirteen in attendance.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
