Elections!

Today is the day the country chooses a President for the next 4 years. The past several months have been very noisy as people campaigned in the streets. It is done a little differently here than in the U.S. They pile on the back of a truck or hang out windows of vehicles, and travel around all over beeping horns, yelling, waving flags, and playing loud music in an attempt to try to persuade the people to vote for their guy. Each candidate has a special song with a catchy phrase to advertise him. They will pile speakers up on trucks or in the streets, playing the song of the favored candidate. Needless to say, there has been a lot of noise and traffic jams in the city. Tomorrow will be a day of celebration for the winning man. Today has pretty much been silent, though, while we wait in anticipation to see who will win.



You can see here how they stand right beside the street yelling at the cars trying to get them to give the sign that they are in favor of their guy.

Maybe you can see the speakers piled behind these flag-wavers.

They are not advertising a human man. Their flags say "Jesus Christ, the President". How wonderful that would be if the country would elect Him!
