On Saturday I received a few text messages from friends in Sierra Leone to say that they had voted and everything had gone well. The process so far has been peaceful and after talking to a couple friends on the phone today it still remains that way. Karen talked to both Joe and Peter at Jonathan House, who also told her that everything has gone well and things at Jonathan House are peaceful as well- well as peaceful as it can be with a hundred kids running around.
Even though the vote is over it will still be sometime before we know the results. Paper voting is not a thing of the past everywhere. Hopefully within a week we will know who the president is and of course I will let you know (or if you find out first let me know).
More good news, David had to have a physical before getting his Visa from the embassy. Long story short, seeing the doctor and getting into the embassy while it was open for visas was a long shot, but our God is good. Roger and David will be able to get the visa Wednesday and come home later in the week (instead of having to wait until September).
