Hi,
Well, Elections took place last Sunday and it seemed to go pretty quietly this time. We heard from friends in the northwest and La Pointe that there didn't seem to be any trouble. It was a quiet day here too. We have not been given the results - they are to be announced on Tuesday December 7th but the rumors are flying of fraud, etc. We appreciate your prayers for the outcome of these elections.
I've mentioned that there has been shooting in the area west of us and this past Wednesday we were awakened at 5 am to the sounds of a "war" taking place. It kept this up steady until around 6:30 when it quieted down. Gang members have died and been injured as well as innocent bystanders who got in the line of fire. This is happening in our area between two local gangs so I'm sure it isn't making the news there. Please pray for peace to come to this area and for the protection of people in the area.
We've heard in one of the updates on the cholera situation that the number of cases continue to rise but the number who are dying of the disease has decreased which means people are getting treatment more quickly.
David is preparing to preach tomorrow. Next week is the last day of classes and he gives his Revelation exam on Saturday the 11th. We fly out late in the afternoon on the 13th arriving in Philadelphia after midnight on the 14th - won't be too productive that day for sure. :)
Love to all,
Phyllis
