Hi. Today was a day of ups and downs. For the most part, there was peace in Nairobi. There were a few demonstrations, but no fighting or killing. Last night, 60 houses were burned in a slum in Northern Nairobi. We are growing weary of the senseless violence.
It seems Kibaki has offered Odinga the chance at a coalition government, but Odinga refused. So, peace is still not Kenya's. We have heard that tensions are high in Kalangwari, the slum where our guard and many Amani woman are from. So, we are going to bed praying, but if you can pray as you go throughout your day, we would be thankful.
It's late, so that is all for today. Just wanted to let you know that we are still just as safe as ever and grateful for your prayers.

"I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud & mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." Psalm 40:1,2 That's my prayer today for those families!
love, Marti
