Bonjour,

When we were getting out of the car at church this morning, Gilbert’s hand got shut in the door. On Sunday mornings, people ride with us. Someone shut the back door just as I was about to help Gilbert down out of the front seat. He was holding on to the door frame. His hand is okay; it’s just a little sore.

Neither of the boys were feeling very well. The other lady that helps with the nursery wasn’t there today. Danny cried all through Sunday school; his teeth seemed to be bothering him. Gilbert’s hand was hurting, but his stomach was really hurting too. He just sat and held his stomach. After Sunday school, Joe found a couple ladies to work in the nursery, and he took us home.

Gilbert hasn’t had much of an appetite the past few days. We are hoping that once he finishes the medicine for the fungus that his appetite will return. If not, we’ll have to go back to the doctor. Danny is getting a cold on top of his ear infection and teething.

Joe went to church this evening, and I kept the boys at home. Church went well. Brother Thompson, the founding pastor of the Machs’ church in Ohio, is here visiting. He preached in Anyama tonight.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
