More Updates on Haiti
Thought I would give a quick update to those wondering about my aunt and uncle. They have found one of the students that was buried in the earthquake on Tuesday and he has been buried on campus until the time comes for him to be moved.. It was hard for the men who dug him out obviously as this was a fellow student and friend. Uncle David and Aunt Phyl are still sleeping outside. But, they are not alone. There are probably about 2000 Haitians on campus, so there are people all over. David's been sleeping on the patio on cushions and Phyl's been sleeping on the swing with chair cushions. She said she's been praying that when sleeping outside she doesn't have any bug/tarantula/rat encounters. After going through the horrors of an earthquake, I don't know if I could handle the horrors of THAT as well!! Thankfully she's been able to get some sleep. They have a couple doctors on campus trying to treat the injured, but haven't had adequate medical supplies, so they are doing what they can. Aftershocks are still being felt, which is still very scary, but they are managing. This is just a brief synopsis of the collection of emails and posts I've seen and received. They continue to feel God's grace and are thankful they are there and able to help, but they have a long road ahead of them. Still no word about Jehu and the boys and that weighs heavily on their minds. So, please continue to lift them up and all of Haiti as they deal with this crisis. If any of you are curious and want to find out how to help in relief efforts, here is the website to their mission - http://www.crossworld.org/news.html Thank you to everyone who has been praying and offering up their support. It means so much.
