We will be cutting the generator in about an hour until dusk tonight. We had a relatively peaceful night, although gunfire continued sporadically throughout the night nearby.
I think people slept well; most adults slept with our 2-way radios glued to our ears to keep posted by our guards and staff members who are posted to ‘watch the road’.
This is getting old; I’m reminded, though, of those who live this way days, weeks, months, even years at a time. I think I will understand their mindset just a bit more now. People, even students, have begun to greet each other with their favorite Bible passages about God’s protection. As a community, our spirits are good. However, we do have some who are struggling.
Well, I want to make sure this goes before we loose power. Thanks for your prayers. If you e-mail us, and right now those e-mails are pretty special, please send a copy to us here at bobnloisgillespie@hotmail.com as well as a copy to lgillespie@ica.ed.ci. We’re not getting mail at either place consistently, but each place occasionally.
