W'apow mu e,
Joe went visiting this morning. They didn't find many people at home. We have moved Bible Club to the church on Saturday afternoons. The places we were meeting weren't "ours" and had various other activities going on.
Bonnie had a couple skirts that needed to be taken in at the waist. I sat down to fix them on the sewing machine. Then, everyone started finding things that needed to be shortened and taken in. Bonnie watched while I fixed her skirts. Then, she was off to do other things. A little while later, she came back and found Danny in "her" chair. She told him to get out of her chair. I told her that I was working on his pants and that it was his turn to watch. She was not very happy about that.
A girl from school came to play with the kids this morning. After she left, the kids swam for a little while. Then, it started raining.
I worked on church financial records this morning and get them all up to date.
Danny came in with a bloody elbow. He hit his elbow and broke the scab open again. Maybe he needs elbow pads. Danny cut his hand last night with scissors. He caught his hand in the scissors instead of the paper. It is always something with that boy.

This evening, Bonnie was bugging Danny about doing something. Danny told her to hold her horses. She asked him which horse she should hold. She went to her room and got her big horse and came back in the room "holding her horse."
Joe is starting a new Sunday School class for the adults tomorrow. He has been working on getting things ready for that.
Emmanuel, the guy who has been helping in my Sunday School class, moved up to the northeast corner of Ghana to go to university. So, I will be on my own in Sunday School. I still have a helper for junior church.
Nantsew yie!
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
