Happy New Year brings some challenges

First of all Happy New Year to everyone. May God richly bless you in this new year.

As you will see in the title we are facing some challenges in this new year already. Our neighbours to the East, Kenya, have just gone through their Presidential elections. Unfortunately they have not gone smoothly and violence is prevalent. Please pray for peace for this country and for Kibaki (elected president again) that he would have much wisdom during this time. There are reports of vote rigging and ethnic cleansing going on on both sides. Pray it won't escalate any further.
The trouble Kenya is facing is also affecting its neighbours and that includes us. Petrol stations have run out of fuel or if they have fuel they are selling it at inflated prices. One of our Pastors at church mentioned that he was being charged $14 for a litre of fuel at one petrol station. He has decided to walk :) Our car was in the garage today due to some problems with its gears. Thankfully it was only two seals that were broken so should get it back tonight. We will be conservative in our driving until the problems in the East sort themselves out. We pray for the Kenyan people that peace will come soon.
