Elections, Cholera and Nicole

Yesterday was a mostly normal day around here.  There was less people in church due to the elections, but it was still a great service.
The elections took place, but based on the news reports that we are hearing, there is much controversy over how they took place and there are many people upset.  Voting took place at one of the BHM affiliated schools beside the mission campus and we were told that things were not very well organized in the morning and by late afternoon people were chanting "Don't vote" protesting the elections. 
Pray that things would remian peaceful here and that God's will would be done and the people that He wants, would be elected.  The results won't be announced for a least a week.

We are so thankful that the one patient that we had in the cholera clinic has been released and sent home.  There has not been any other patients admitted and only a few people have come needing rehydration.  This is an answer to prayer.  We are really praying that it doesn't affect this area badly.

Today Nicole left to return to the states.  She came shortly after the earthquake and served in the hospital as a nurse for many months.  When there wasn't a huge need for her nursing skills in the hospital she began serving where ever she could around the mission.  She really because a great friend to me and she will be greatly missed.
