The End is Near

Just a quick entry tonight - According to news reports coming out tonight the Labor Unions in Nigeria have ended a four day long National strike. What this means to us is that after 3 full days of house arrest conditions we should soon be free to get out and around again. What we don't know at this point is how long it will take for fuel trucks to start running again and for gas to be flowing from filling stations. This likely means a few more days of limited movement, but things should start to clear within a few days.

We had already made plans to stay home from church tomorrow, and we only went places we could walk to today. We were at least able to walk over to the mall today and watch a movie, that really helped break up the monotony somewhat. I will try to post again soon with further updates, but tonight is a time of happiness and celebration. The strike is over and I will actually be able to go to work on Monday! Some of you may find that statement strange, but it is actually the work that keeps me sane.
