Bonjour,

Joe headed into Anyama early this morning so that he could drop the
vehicle off at the mechanic's shop. He wanted to have the brakes looked
at. He and Dan Post will be traveling to a village this weekend. Dan
helped a national start a church about ten years ago. The national
died, and the church doesn't have a pastor right now. There is an
Ivorian missionary in the area that preaches there once a month. They
will be having a baptismal service. So, Joe wanted to make sure that
the vehicle is ready for their trip.

Joe was going to ride out to Belleville with Lenell and Romeo. But, a
couple other things came up. They never actually made it to Belleville
this morning. Sylveste, a boy who used to attend the Anyama church but
had moved to live with his uncle, had been kicked out by his uncle and
was living on the streets. Max went to see if he could find him this
morning. He was able to find him. Then, Simone, the lady that works
for Lenell, was very sick with malaria. Lenell called to check on her,
and Simone was talking out of her head. Joe, Lenell, and Romeo took a
taxi to go take Simone to the hospital. Simone crawled to the door and
was not doing well. They took her to the hospital and put her on an IV.

Dan Post met Joe in town. He needed to have some electrical work done
on a DVD player. Joe knows a guy in Anyama that can fix just about
anything.

This afternoon, we all took a nap. Then, we headed to church. We had a
good service with 33 in attendance.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
