Bonjour,

We have had torrential rains all day today. Church attendance was way
down today. Several people were soaked when they arrived at church.

Today was Bonnie's first day at church. Everyone was happy to see her.
The church presented us with some gifts that people had brought for the
baby.

We couldn't have either of the outside classes today because of the
rain. We couldn't even get to the bamboo building because of "the
river" that was running between the two buildings.

We had the younger children in the back room; everyone else was in the
main room. Joe taught Sunday school, and Romeo preached the morning
message.

We all took a nap this afternoon. I have a cold and sore throat and am
not feeling very well. So, the children and I stayed home this evening.

There were 23 in attendance this evening. Joe preached tonight.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
