Election Day
This morning at about 3:30 am people began to gather here at the high school in Fermathe to vote. The polling place would open at about 7:30 or 8:00 am. When I ventured to the street I was pleasently suprised to see how orderly things were and the incredible amount of patience the people had. I talked with a few friends that were in line and they seemed optimistic and hopeful. I returned at about 2:00 pm and found a good friend just leaving having finally voted! He started the day in line at 7:30 am. All in all it was very quiet here and we were able to get some much need work done during the still of the day. Praise God for the good day.
