Earthquake

Just a note to update on our week in Haiti. So much has happened and we do not get to email like we would like to.
This week I worked 3 days in the burn clinic and then spent 2 days going out with North Carolina Baptist to a tent city and also to a city Solua. This was a place that for three years no one from Global had been as it was a center of gang members. We worked in a Church where the front of the church was standing and the sanctuary of the church was totally destroyed. We saw and treated about 100 people using interpreters. The people were very nice. The next day we went to the tent city. We took a guard with us. He had a gun and worked crowd control for us. It had rained that night and we were under a tarp. We were dry. 4 men accepted the Lord that morning and they went to their knees in the dirt and prayed. What a experience. We saw and treated about 100 people that morning.
Yesterday we went to where the earthquake happened. We saw so many buildings down and you know that there are still people in the rubble. One building is standing and one is down. from the earthquake to the town of Port A Prince you just see damage and so many buildings that you still know are going to fall down and people have opened there business underneath the buildings that look like they will fall at any time.
