Our pastor's wife came to visit today.  Brought a gift of a squash.  We talked about many things.  She told how the women's group is doing.  Reported that at Christmas time they did a project at a home of the aged near here.  Took gifts of soap and other needy things to the elderly.  These are all people whose families have abandoned them.  She talked about the choir and how she has had to remove a couple of members whose lives are not adding up.  Instead of growing the choir as she dreams of doing, it is shrinking.  But she would rather have a small group really committed to living godly lives 24/7 than a large group that is weak and ineffective.  Then we discussed the state of affairs for Papa Alphonse, the blind man whom we help.  The lady who pays his rent has not paid for 3-4 months.  Apparently she has kept the funds for herself.  In the end, his landlady kicked him out.  He curls up each night on the front porch of the local chief's house.  We discussed ways to help improve his living situation.  Lord willing something will work out soon
