Bonjour,

This morning we had a workday up at the church.  Not many people came today.  Two guys and one lady came along with us and Kristine.  We got the rest of the library and the office emptied out in preparation for putting the ceiling in.  Then, we wiped down all of the plastic chairs and swept the auditorium.  I had made some brownies; they were a big hit.  
For lunch, I tried some pizzas with chicken – one with a ranch sauce and one with an Italian dressing sauce.  The cheese that I got yesterday which was with the mozzarella in the refrigerator was not mozzarella.  I think it was a processed cheese; it didn't melt very well.  Oh well, it still turned out okay.  At least it was edible.
It sprinkled a little this morning, but the sun came out.  We were able to have Bible Club out in the field today.  There were thirteen in attendance today.  
After Bible Club, we went swimming for a little while.  Kristine made supper for us; that was nice!  We are all worn out and ready for bed tonight.
Bonnie told me that she had "a great idid" (idea).  She was using the big blocks to make shakes.  She turned the blocks over and stuffed them with toilet paper for the shakes.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
