Well, as one could expect, God takes care of his children once again! The hurricane has taken an almost calculated path through open water just to our west in Jacmel. We prayed, our friends and family back in the U.S. prayed, and God answered. Yesterday was quite a test of faith for all of us, including our friends and family. Almost all of us were sick yesterday as we heard the news of our cancelled flights and the hurricane was tracking head on for us. Through all of this we found that those at home seemed much more worried than we all were. This is where we have found how strong is our faith. We all had peace about it and many commented that they were more worried about their family at home, but especially those stranded here in the tent cities. We have to remind ourselves that we really do not know what true suffering is compared to these unfortunate people. These are God's children and we need care for them as God does, we need to be broken-hearted as God is. Hopefully during our extended stay here God will use us even more to help these people, maybe meant to be. So weather the storm is what we shall do, and love our God in the midst of. Praise and Glory to him.
