Bonjour,

Joe is feeling better today. We are glad about that.

Church went well today. We didn’t have quite as many in the nursery today; we had seven this time. That was still plenty to keep us busy.

Gilbert has some type of stomach bug again. We started him on the antibiotic that fights against bacteria. Hopefully that will help.

After church this morning, we came home and got all of the Post boys’ things loaded into the vehicle. Then, we headed into Abidjan. Dan bought pizza for everyone for lunch. The boys were very glad to see their parents. They were all trying to tell different stories at the same time. It was fun to listen to them.

We got back home around 15:00. Joe had to be up at the church for a meeting at 16:00. So, the boys and I rode to church with the Litsons at 16:30. Gilbert got a little nap in. Danny had fallen asleep in the car; so, he didn’t go down again.

Matt Litson preached tonight. It was a good message.

After church, everyone stood around talking for a little while. Danny fell asleep in my arms. He got a bit heavy; so, I put him on the front seat of the vehicle.

Lenell leaves early in the morning. The Litsons are taking her to the airport this evening. After church, she brought some stuff over that she wants to store in our garage until she returns in February. We said our goodbyes. We have enjoyed her visit.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
