Bonjour,

We had a good day at church.  Dan is down with malaria; so, Joe led the singing today.  Joe taught the adult Sunday school class and preached in the morning service.  I miss out on his preaching on Sunday mornings since I am busy with the children's classes.
I had twenty-four in my class today.  My helper came today.  We have a lot of younger children in our class now; it is hard to keep their attention for long.  I pulled some new songs out of the hat, and they liked those.  
After church, we went home, had lunch, took naps, and got ready to go back to church.
The new guard was on time this evening.  That was a blessing.  We had a good service this evening as well with seventeen in attendance.  Joe preached a good message about wisdom.  
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
