day 10

day 10 since the earthquake...and i have officially gotten a cold. i am declaring health over my body...i think its just because all the kids seem to have colds and i think its from sleeping outside every night. i know its not cold at all compared to kansas city or most places for that matter in the states, but for haiti low 70's with no sun and the wind...its chilly.

yesterday we spent all morning and a bit of the early afternoon at the hospital, AIDS clinic with Johnny & Myson, they needed to get their meds for the next month. its hard seeing all the people outside in pain...so many are now physically scared, now amputees, and not only that more have lost loved ones and have people missing. in fact 2 nurses were still missing from AIDS clinic and they hadn't heard anything. driving around seeing all the crushed buildings is hard too...i always pray that the Lord delivered everyone out already...

i am not sure if i am processing, but i will say that i think my spirit is ready to. i want a big long cry...a big long moment with my Savior, a big long nap... mama kathy is here and i have gotten to see her twice and every time i do i have to hold back that big long cry....because i am not really ready nor do i really want it to be done here. i dont know why...maybe i feel the need to be strong for all my haitian friends and family...thats the only thing that seems to make sense. its so refreshing to see mama kathy...a little piece of home, but yet it makes perfect since for me to see her here too, as this is our home as well.

today i am going out with Sr. Marie to get some more fruits and vegetables...we need lots of vitamin C right now...between our kids and our nannies i feel like everyone is getting a cold. then after that i think i am gonna drive around and be taxi for people that are walking around with injuries...get them to clinics. or at least that is the plan. Mama Dorothy and I saw a woman yesterday on the way home and felt this morning that would be definitely worthwhile.

well i better go...but continue to keep haiti in your prayers. thanks again for all you are dong...whether praying, reading, bringing awareness, being an activist, bringing donations in...whatever it may be...it IS a blessing.

Bondye Beni Ou!
