Bonjour,

This morning, Joe took a taxi into Anyama to check on the vehicle. The
mechanic went to find all of the needed parts today. Joe stopped by the
post office. We had a couple packages.

The boys were so excited to see what was in the packages. Marshmallows
were a big hit.

The mechanic called this afternoon and said that they found all of the
parts except for one hose. They will keep looking for that tomorrow.
The vehicle might be ready to go for inspection on Thursday.

Missions With the Consfords

This evening, Joe and I were sitting in the living room. We heard some
noise coming from the boys' room. I went to see what they were doing.
They had a mattress on the floor and were jumping from the changing
table to the mattress. We got Peter Pan in one of the packages today.
After watching that, they were trying to fly like Peter Pan.

Bonnie took short naps today. She went to bed early, but I don't know
if she is down to stay yet. Bonnie is trying to pull up on things. She
really wants to walk so that she can keep up with those brothers better.

We got our plane tickets for furlough. We leave here May 18 and arrive
in Dallas on the evening of May 19.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
