Yesterday morning we had another major tremor – reportedly a 6. We have had so many aftershocks – I just know that the ground shook once again.
We suffered no major damage and all are fine. A number of buildings damaged but still standing further collapsed and there were many injuries.
Late yesterday we finally hooked up with our medical team. The area that they came into PAP through was so badly congested that it took us 1 ½ hrs to go through about 2 km of traffic. Thank God we found them.
Since the quake yesterday morning, we have had very very poor internet service. So you may not hear from us over the next several days. Don’t worry, Please pray for our continued protection and for God’s wisdom as we deal with this situation daily.

Appreciating your blogs. We spent 9 months in Haiti(2001) and have lasting friends. We know Michel and Louise Charbonneau from being in Canada and Haiti and enjoyed visiting that mission with some of the guys from the mission we were at. Great memories. Now we are broken about what is going on. Tonight the urgency is that Ricot Leon(from Haiti) and his Canadian wife) are praying what to do. They left their car at Lataillades,in PAP, went to the DR for a family wedding, just the day before the earthquake. Their truck is destroyed. He is coming in on the weekend. He is fluent in Creole and English,not French. He wants to be useful. I suggested the need for translators. Do you have any ideas?
I believe that there is some need for translators. I would suggest that he contact the UN (main building near the airport) or the US Military (likely best if he went to the US embassy for that).
