We are grateful here for your prayers. We had three days of rain in our area and severe winds Saturday night, but no heavy damage other than the shallow-rooted plaintains and some other trees, some roof damage spread around.
Port-au-Prince, of course, was hit much harder, poor people. I understand from Sarah Allyn that the older St. Joseph Home building lost a good deal of its roof and there was extensive water damage. Please pray for them and all the others affected by the storm.
We did have a tragic accident here that Saturday. A man was felling a tree in his yard. He was going to provide planks for the carpenter of our guest house. Tragically, a branch from the tree hit his young neighbor, 7 year old Safira, a member of our chapel, and a truly charming little girl. She always came out from her house or yard to shake the hands of the blans (whites) passing by. She died that afternoon at the hospital. She is survived by her parents and three young brothers. The chapel is in mourning and the carpenter has been out sick since shortly after this happened. The wife and children of the man cutting the tree are also active in our chapel. Please keep us all in your prayers.
With much love, f
