A few updates

We FINALLY spoke with Esaia this morning!!   He is the father of Nakesha.  I have stayed at his house in PAP several times on my recent trips, and he is a most upbeat, wonderful guy who will bend over backwards for you.   If I ever make a request, he ALWAYS says, "Pa gen problem."  It's no problem.  
At first he didn't know who was calling, but when he understand that it was "Ben and Jen" he got SO excited!   It was great--but then we couldn't hardly understand a single word because he talked so fast in Creole.  :)    But we did hear from him that the whole family and their house is ok.   We are so glad for them!  I'm eager to see everyone again soon.

We've tried several times to call Anderson but the phone just rings.  

Here's a video from Hearts about St. Joseph's and Wings of Hope:

Aren't you amazed at the videos of people being rescued, even today?  And some of them, when they escape, praise God by singing songs.  For many their faith in God is so embedded that it holds them fast through the darkest of valleys.  


Here is a good story about how Puerto Rico is helping Haiti.  I'm really impressed:
