Bonjour,

This morning, Joe took the kids to school.  Then, we worked on paperwork.  We are getting everything ready to apply to be added to an existing quota (NGO).  This is the first step in obtaining our residents' visas.  The Ministry of Interior gives you one original form.  All of the information is to be typed on that form.  We could have taken it into town and had it typed, but we decided to try to do it with the computer.  After some trial and error, we got it lined up exactly.  We have to wait for a letter and a signature from Brother Luther.  Then, we have to have fifteen copies made of everything to be presented before the board in Accra.  The Luthers should arrive tomorrow.
The kids had a good day at school.  No one had any homework today.  Bonnie must not have taken much of a nap at school because she was a grouch.
After supper, we got ready for church.  We had a good church service with eleven in attendance.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
