Greetings to all. I know that there are many people praying for us. It is a great comfort. I have just returned from a clinic in Voi, three hours away, that went very well. When I arrived home I found that the lock on the outer gate of the door had been opened but the inner door was still locked and no one entered our flat. It is very obvious when my car is gone for two days that I am not around. So my friend came over this evening to chat. It's nice to have someone else around when there is trouble. Yesterday we got news of student demonstrations in Nairobi against the increase in school fees. The gathering turned chaotic and police used tear gas causing disruption in the town center.
Today the newspaper reports that hotels on the coast are closing and 4000 people have been laid off of work. I have asked around about security in Mombasa and it is still tense. The concern is that someone is planning a major attack that will involve shooting people indiscriminately in areas of heavy traffic...either Nairobi or Mombasa...similar to the attack on the Westgate shopping mall last September in Nairobi.
I will be going to a clinic in Mrima by the Tanzanian border on Friday and the rains have cooled everything off so that I'm a bit chilly!!! We continue to pray for one another. Peace of the gentle rains to you, especially those who are starting to sweat in the northern hemisphere!
