Bonjour,

We got some things done around the house this morning. The boys
"helped" Daddy clean the pool. They sprayed each other with the hose
and came in all wet. Danny told me, "Wet, cold." Danny can say
Gilbert's name now. It is cute to hear him say it. I did some cleaning
and got some pictures put into frames.

This afternoon, Joe went into town to get money. Lenell and Simone went
too. Lenell needed to get money as well. They stopped at the grocery
store and then headed home. On the way home, Matt's vehicle broke down
again. The mechanic had to come and tow the vehicle back to Anyama.
The vehicle that was doing the towing overheated just before they got to
the mechanic's. So, Joe got out to push along with the help of several
others.

Our vehicle is at the paint shop. Joe was able to get in touch with
them tonight. They haven't started the painting yet. So, we will get
our vehicle back tomorrow until Matt's is back up and running. The
mechanic said that one of the parts that he used must have been faulty.
So, he is going to take the whole motor apart, take all of the parts
that they purchased back, get new parts, and start over. There is never
a dull moment!

Please pray for Joe's mom and Margie Engelhart as they are traveling.
They should arrive in Abidjan tomorrow night.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
