Movin' On

We haven't had much time to catch our collective breaths since the robbery, but we are all still doing really well. We have been amazed and humbled by all of the people who have been praying for us. The children continue to do so well, go to sleep peacefully, and aren't generally afraid. I keep trying to pry it out of them, and have finally concluded that there really isn't anything there to pry! :) We are so grateful.

Two days after the robbery, our short-term family left for England. Three days after that, the Tanners came back from the States. Another three days later, we moved Josh and Amy and family into Mwanza to do some language study. Yesterday we picked up a short-term lady who is here for several weeks.

In between that we have managed to keep going on staff house 1, get four sand filters up and running, and keep up on our "normal" stuff.  I use the collective "we" in the loosest of terms--I haven't actively been participating in any of that!  And nothing about any of our lives seems "normal."  :)

As far as any kind of resolution to the robbery situation, the police did find one man who supposedly has a gun at his house, and put him in jail. That same night, however, one of our higher-up local officials bailed him out. We don't quite understand all of it, and we really aren't focusing on it at the moment. The police system is not always dependable, and often corrupt. We continue to pray that GOD would bring these men to justice so that they will not hurt anyone else.

The righteous run to it and are safe!"
