In the morning we just have to take showers, get dressed, pack the frozen food into the ice chest,  load the car when it arrives, and take off.  We're hoping to be out of here by 9 a.m. at the latest.  Papa Jim and Mama Alice are off to Eyene for three days.  We will meet Damien out there.  He's buying a wheelbarrow and bringing it out with him.  There is a lot of dirt to move around on the property to better control drainage.  This will make the job easier.  

We'll have Bible studies both Monday and Tuesday nights.  Either Monday or Tuesday during the day we will visit Jean Marie (the father) in his village.  His elderly mother has died.  We will not be able to be there for her burial on Saturday, so we will give him our contribution for the burial expenses and our condolences.  And of course we will be visiting Papa Pollycarp and Mama Clair in their home at least one time.  We will be announcing a baptismal that will take place during the Bible conference.  One person is asking to be baptized.  Others may want to join him.  Damien will conduct a baptismal class.  Papa Jim is planning on building a simple portable baptismal.  The idea came from Uncle Jim.  He was a pastor for many, many years and came up with an efficient model that uses just two barrels of water.  It will be perfect for the village.  

We'll be back home by Wednesday afternoon. Doris and little Princes Angle, who is out of school for the summer, will be holding down the fort.  Francis is on vacation this month.
