It looks like Haiti news must come snail mail now. Alice always tries to send a family letter and this info is from that letter.
They are thankful for so many things as they hear the extent of the quake throughout Haiti. It seems that no one remains untouched. If they weren’t in the quake they have family and friends who were. As of the writing of her letter, she tells of places further south than Port where almost everyone is homeless. People lay out in the open to sleep at night. The gardens have been destroyed all over the country. The north still has some. There are still areas where no food or other supplies have reached the people yet.
Officially 150,000 people are recorded as haveing come to Cap Hatien. More are not listed officially. Alice says ‘Church was packed Sunday.’ In Jr Church they had over 150 kids from 9-12 They really sang well, but it was hard to keep the kids attention for that long.
” A few days ago, some of the kids came to our house very early in the morning to tell us someone had stolen all their plates! What a way to start the day. Alice said Then she went on to say ” Later that day our commode broke, we ran out of water, and the solor power wasn’t working so we had no lights, or current to use the computer.What a day! We had company too who wanted to use our bathroom. They still used it but they learned things don’t work the same way as they do in the States.Pray about the boxes for Christmas that customs wants so much money for . They were sent prior to the quake. Pastor Cebien is back and may be able to help then with this.For they would like to use the money for more important needs.
A box came from Pastor Micah In it was the Dawn dishliquid they were praying for. It seems Dawn is the best for washing their dishes in cold water. He also sent some peanutbutter so the orphans were thrilled.
For those of you who have e mailed them you have been an encouragment when they do get the letters. Thanks to the folks at Dunbar Baptist Church who have put $2000 in their account. The banks are now functioning and they can cash checks. For a while they operated on a cash only basis in all of Haiti. Thanks to Leonard and all of you from CBC that they had the cash in hand the day of the quake.
They also think they have all the rats who took posession of the house while they were gone. The one who chased Alice into the living room to sleep is now history so she is back in her room again. With all that has gone on that may seem trivial but I know I would find it hard to sleep even if I were exhausted with rats playing in the room.
Carolyn and I are letting the Lord plan our trip down in less than two weeks now. So many decisions are not made yet we know they all will fit together perfectly so we just stand aside and watch as the details are all worked out.Keep praying Sue
