If you want to see some pictures of some of the destruction that Hanna caused, go to www.missionaryflights.org. Check on the right side of our blog to go there quickly. They asked missionaries to share their photos with them, and many did. Pray for the people of Gonaives. The destruction there is awful. It's much worse than the storm they had before. And roads from Cap are cut off to the south. We have heard some real horror stories about things down there.
One problem we will have since Hanna dropped her destruction on us is fuel...No trucks can come up from Port with fuel...so we will be sort of stuck. And the food supplies will dwindle. The water purification plants will have to close down with no fuel to run their systems. So, you can see, the needs for prayer are huge. Gardens and livestock have been depleted and the people are suffering. Pray for the Lord to give us strength and to have wisdom in this situation.
During Hanna, Abbie decided the new puppies needs some comfort. So she sat out on the porch, with an umbrella, holding and playing with the puppies.

The porch didn't get wet, but she did! She finally had to leave them in their mama's care and come in. She wasn't happy about that. We did need rain, but for the most part, it soaked in and we are fine here. On the way to the airport yesterday, we noticed the roads soaked up the wet, too. It was dry and dusty all over.
Pray for the people all over Haiti. Not only the storm's destruction, but the way prices are, and now they will raise again...they are suffering a lot more than most people realize.
We will update as soon as Ike takes his leave from here. He really isn't a welcome guest right now. Well, maybe there aren't any hurricanes that would be welcome. Keep praying and keep your eyes on Jesus. He knows what is happening and where the help comes from. Our dependence is on HIM, and HIM alone!!
