Travis and I spoke yesterday at the King's School in Corinth and at the Hadley-Luzerne High School this morning. The kids were very respectful and responded positively. They are actively pursuing ways to contribute to the work in Haiti. The teachers, too, are helping the kids find ways to get involved. It's pretty great to see the schools take time out to hold assemblies on behalf of Haiti. It is a huge encouragement to all of us. Thanks to all those who made that possible. More drops in the bucket.
Travis did pretty well, speaking. It's still hard for him to talk about some of his experiences. His face clouds over and I can tell he's reliving some of the more difficult sights and sounds of the suffering. It's probably good for him to have to keep talking.
He's also done a terrific job of holding down Bryan's business details, even though he's frustrated to be here, so I'm pretty proud of him. And I'm glad he doesn't read this blog. :)
Amy called home and said she's seeing some pretty bad stuff and is working as hard as she can, together with a nurse. Maybe Sabrina, I'm not sure.
Still waiting to hear whether or not it's possible for them to get to Jeremie.
Lloyd and Darlene, the founders of the mission in Carrefour, arrived today. It is the first time they will see the devastation with their own eyes. So many of their closest friends are dead. Pray for them as they grieve...and begin to heal.
