Bonjour,

This morning, Joe and Gilbert went up to the church. Gilbert played with Moses, a little boy that lives right across from the church. He comes over to the church a lot. He had a tiny flashlight that Gilbert thought was pretty neat. When they came home, Gilbert told me, “Mama, I play with Moise light.”

We told Gilbert this morning that we were going to go to Luc’s birthday party this afternoon. He kept asking every few minutes, “Ready go see Luc, Daddy?”

The boys went down for an early nap. We left the house a little before 14:00 to head to the Machs’ house.

Missions With the Consfords

Gilbert and Danny both had a great time playing with all the kids. Joe had a good time fellowshipping with the men, and I had a good time with the ladies. Bob Machs’ mother and step-dad are here visiting. We enjoyed meeting them. The Posts, the Litsons, Margie Engelhart, and Tammy were all there too. Bob Engelhart goes to Donkoi on Thursdays; so, he didn’t go.

We left their house a little before 19:00. We picked up a couple pizzas on the way home. Danny fell asleep, but Gilbert talked to us all the way home. (They live about an hour away from us.)

I took some pictures at the party, but our camera batteries are dead. After we get them recharged tonight, I will send some pictures tomorrow.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
