There were a few aftershocks/new quakes last night and this morning. The one at 4:30am was about a 5. Mom said the waterbed really moved with her in it! Dad was up shaving already.
Dad picked up some structural engineers this morning who are helping retrieve things from the Bible School building. They were staying for lunch and then moving on to the next area. When Mom went down, they had been able to retrieve some pictures from Dad's office: a painting, a picture of Grandpa Schmid buying grapefruit and another of a Haitian sailboat. Mom was not sure if they were going to try for the book in the office.
Ginger Muchmore, Judy (Muchmore) Dilus and Judy's daughter Ani are coming on Thursday for an overnight stay before flying out to Lancaster. Mom is looking forward to the visit and chance to see the three of them. Mom was there with Ginger and Judy when Ani was born in Lancaster. Judy and Ani often stay with Mom and Dad when Port-au-Prince.
Please pray for no more aftershocks/new quakes as people are still struggling to cope from the original quake in January.
Please pray for wisdom as the campus leaders work with the debriefers to meet the needs of the community on campus.
Please pray that plans will work out for the leaders to get a break soon, emotionally and physically.
Pray for the people of Haiti who were struggling to meet basic needs before the quake and are now facing an even bigger challenge of meeting those needs.
Pray for the leaders of Haiti as they work with the various organizations to work on rebuilding Haiti.
Pray for new believers. Life will still be difficult and pray that they do not loose the flame of faith in the harsh reality of living in a quake-ravaged country.
