we are in the middle of chaos...literally. Elections were last week for a new president and the man who has been president for the past 5 years was re-elected...he was the guy we liked even though it doesn't matter who we like. The opponent is for muslims and frankly made too many crazy promises! The past few days people have been killing one another in many ways. Many people in our church have had their houses burned down and are becoming ill because there is no food. There were some men from one political party that took a man from another party and had set up tires in the road ready to burn him, thankfully they were stopped. One city is in complete shambles and no one can even leave the airport. My parents went shopping today at the only open store and my mom describes it as being like the day after christmas sale only it is stuff you are buying for survival. People's carts where filled to the top with things like flour, sugar, water and that sorta stuff. there is no milk or bread. to top it all off the candidate who lots the presidential elections called a rally on thursday, he expects 1 million people to show up. he will probably get them all riled up and God only knows what will happen. We thought it was getting better but it seems that in all reality it is likely to get much much worse! i pray our internet stays on for a long time but we have no assurances. i can assure you we won't starve, haha, our pantry and fridge could feed us for at-least 3 weeks! my mom pretty much bought out the grocery store. things are crazy here. so everyone knows i haven't seen any of this with my eyes only through the newspaper and what my parents tell me. we are safe and secure in the middle of a good neighborhood and while that does not mean for sure that nothing will happen the bad guys are targeting the slums first. so please pray for us but even more pray for our people. we have received multiple texts of people in our church who are suffering. more than anything food is very scarce especially for those who don't have much money.
I love you all!
God is in complete control!
