To all of our concerned friends, yes, we have done our part!!! We faxed- isn't that amazing- our absentee ballot on Wednesday to the Supervisor of Elections then followed up by mailing the originals. We are able to read bits and pieces of the news regarding the election and I must say I am glad that we are missing this battle. God will prevail- He always does!!
We are about to go through the Zambian election process on October 30th. There are 3 candidates running but 2 really stick out. One is the current VP and the other ran for President in the election 2 years ago and barely lost to the late President Manawasa. Jane told me that the last time she voted, she got to the precinct at 4:00am and was finished at 1:00pm. Wow, am I glad we have many voting stations in Florida. Both Moses and Jane are very discouraged and don't want to vote as they say all these promises are made now to obtain the vote and then nothing changes for them, only the people at the top. I explained what a privilege it is to have the "right to vote".
On a side note- we had our first rain since April last Friday- it even hailed. Wow- I love the rain. You don't realize that until you miss it. The sound, the smell!! It rained again on Thursday as the kids and I were pulling in the driveway so we ran to the backyard to get all the clothes off the line. Chelsea said, "This is kind of fun!" Peterson didn't know what to do so he ran along with us acting very excited!! He has become quite the hunter- he hunts lizards- big lizards, and toads and only the Lord knows what else!!

I am glad Peterson has found something to entertain him. I hope that he never brings you anything bigger than a lizard.
I am glad it rained and you enjoyed it.
We are almost through all the endless election "mud slingling" for now. This will be quite interesting. Do your TV stations air a lot of election ads and debates? Just wondering how other countries do this.
