Hi,
Just a note to tell you we are back safe and (I think) sound! It was a pleasant surprise to see how green everything was and to see the flowers blooming because of rainy season. All of Haiti continues to need rain to fill cisterns, water tables, etc. Of course June begins hurricane season and so we are praying for a safe hurricane season.
Yesterday Cindy and I went grocery shopping so I'm stocked up for visitors coming on Monday. This morning David is giving his exam for his last eschatology course and then reviewing with the seniors for their comprehensive exams before graduation.
Bruce and Cindy returned to Haiti ahead of us and Bruce has headed up the demolition of the Bible School building and the "motel". I will attach some pictures to show you. We got here in time to see the last of the Bible School bldg and the motel come down. It is a sad thing but necessary to begin the renewal process. They were able to get things out of both buildings including doors, appliances, plumbing fixtures, ironwork, etc and we praise God for His protection of the men as they worked.
Cindy has been out to see Jehu's boys and I will go the next time. Please pray for these precious boys and clear direction for this ministry.
We returned tired but in the midst of unpacking and settling in again we are getting some sleep. Thanks for all you did to encourage us during our time in the states. We packed a lot into our time there - 3 trips to Virginia, time in DuBois, North central PA and our home office. We were able to share at least 5 times with groups about the earthquake and how God is working.
Please pray for McMartins and us as the summer will be a busy time. We are aware of our need to pace ourselves and also to try to not let the "tyranny of the urgent" rule our lives. But we need your prayers in these areas.

I am having trouble getting the photos to show here. Please see the slideshow at right for the demolition pictures.
