Hello beautiful family!
So we had a small shaking this morning while stil in PAP. A mere 4.7 , i think, but enough to get this Mama up and yelling for everyone to get up and out!!
Thank God no problems ! Unfortunately it doesn't instill confidence in re entering the standing houses.Please pray for this. It appears from many inspections that some of the house have superficial cracks and could indeed be lived in .... but folks are very learly of doing so.....understandably so!
Faith must take the place of fear... that's for us all!
We spent the first day in PAP first thing taking a derive around the city surveying the extensive damage. AND the AMAZING efforts being made in the way fo relief.
It is literally the best of times over the worst of situations.
We spent the rest of the day divided in to toeams. Some working wiiht the kids at Sherre's house..playing games and alos helping to organize on the the storage areas. papa Gene and Phoebe were an organizing machine!
Two other teams led by our medical folks went into the surrroundng tent cities to tend to wounds and apply love in the form of small medical concerns.
One lady complaining of a small injurt to her knee was truly most in need of friendly faces and a gentle loving touch. All i could think about was how i would want to be treated if the roles were reversed...and watched as Kelly did just that.
Beaver and JT stayed in PAP to work on the Consortium and meet with the UN Cluster on food distribution. Please PRay for them ! Potential for many good consequences!
They plan to join us in Gonaives later this week.
Thanks for all your prayers
It's all about the nest small thing..."We can do no great things... only small things done with great love"
Grace and Love !
Kathy
