Lisa, Emily, and I just made the 12 hour trip back from the other side of Nigeria but we were advised to not come into the city just yet. There was shooting this morning, but since then things have been quiet.
The newspaper reports at least 50 people including 2 high ranking generals were killed in Jos yesterday. No white people were reported injured. Sterling had a scare when a crowd of people gathered around the van he was evacuated in and started pounding on the windows. They just sped on. Since then, the kids have been having an extended party with a bunch of other teenagers at a hostel for the boarding students.
We are currently staying at the Miango rest home (see entry in October). It is very peaceful here. We plan on joining the kids and going home tomorrow if all remains calm.

May God bless you all and keep you safe from harm.
My worries about whether the washer is going out, and how to pay the bill for travel home for Christmas (air fare is outrageous) seem very insignificant.
I pray that we ALL will be more thankful for the blessings we have including the safety of our homes.
