Dear Team....
Now now now....before you get upset please let me explain! April has wiped Nairobi right off the electronic map! For nearly the entire month we have either been without power or without internet! It has rained like the famous 40 days which, in this town, means dinner by candle light nearly every night! Including three Staples Family Birthday parties!
But...our lights are on today so please enjoy a lengthy story on our blog entitled "An Analogy" - my effort to talk about the North/South Sudan conflict. The details come from many a weary conversation after several 5 to 6 day stints for Brian flying supplies to those serving refugees on the border.

On an unrelated but mildly exciting note....
I received the below e-mail from the editor of a magazine designed for missionary women like me! I hope you will visit their site on June 14th to be a part of my knees-knocking debut into the public writing sector.
Sincerely,
Jami Staples
