We continue to hear from our mission workers in Haiti. This letter arrived a few days ago from Rodney Babe.

Dear John,

Greatly appreciate knowing you are praying for us. Terribly sorry about our brother and your representative, Walter, sharing with those within Haiti. We empathize with you in the unknowing. The ray of hope, loss and pain stretches so far from the epicenter and the hurt is shared in so many ways.

Sharyn is healing. She walks with a walker, perhaps 40 feet, but then is exhausted and sick to her stomach and needs to lie down for a couple hours. I was shocked at how fragile of a starting place she is launching from. Broken ribs are hurting more as pain meds are adjusted downward. She doesn't discuss the earthquake expect to really trusted friends.

There are a dozen earthquake victims here in her group therapy that meets each day. Their shared experience allows her to cross the barrier of withdrawal as they begin a deeper healing. Again we are strongly praying their support is enough during these especially turbulent coming months.

Certainly nice weather has to be the positive thought for the day.

Thanks for your prayers,

Rodney
