A Night in Nairobi

I had an overnight in Nairobi last Friday to Saturday. As Rod, Russ, and I drove in a taxi from the airport to their housing complex, I thought to myself, 'What violence.' Rod pointed out a couple of places that we drove through where there had been violent demonstrations earlier in the month. But, on that night, except for extra police patrols, nothing seemed unusual.

I actually got to play Nintendo Wii for the first time as well as see old friends like Jon and Sally Mellinger. Here's a photo of Jon and I playing baseball on the Wii:


That's Rod's wife, Sarah, in the background.



Now, according to this story, it looks like the US is pulling their Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs). The situation does not look hopeful if this happens. It might just mean the US gov't doesn't want a PCV to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hopefully, it's just a precaution and not the result of something more serious.

Pray for our friends in Nairobi and around Kenya.
