Did you know there was a voting station for the US elections right here in Kisumu? Yes, someone had managed to secure two American flags and had set up two boxes in the middle of Kondele - one for Obama and one for McCain. The McCain box was the one over by the pile of stones. Our unofficial count has Obama with a hundred point lead. Fortunately, the US will not need to resort to counting those ballots.
Now we are waiting to see how the Luos react. Yesterday, the general opinion was that there would be riots either way, but God is good and things seem quiet this morning. It helps that those with nothing better to do have the option of going to Obamas home place and eating the bull they will be slaughtering.
God bless America!
About Me
- Cheri
- Hi. I always find it interesting trying to give an accurate picture of myself in these little discriptions. do I present my party/fun side? My deep thinker side? And really, this blog is for people who already know me. How about just the basics: I love the Lord more than anything else. I love my family (most of whom I am living with). I enjoy being with people. Most of the time. I was born in Washington State and have lived about 11 years there and about 13 years here. Oh, here is Kenya, East Africa. I am highly involved in performing arts and working with young singles/youth. Well, it really takes a lifetime to know someone so you'll just have to keep up on my blogs to find out more.
