The gate and other things

Each day adds a bit more to our life here in Haiti. Yesterday I went to the airport with Ray and Vero. We had a team leaving from Ray's mission. With some reported cases of Cholera across the street from them, they felt it best to send the team out. It was a LONG day...the plane went to Port au Prince first to unload supplies for the crisis there, and then came here to get the team. Customs in Port kept them from unloading the plane for over 2 hours. No idea why, but they did. But eventually the plane did get here and headed for the US.

Before we left for the airport, I got some photos of Don working with the 8 guys he hired to help mix and pour the cement for the one pillar for the gate. Thankfully it went very well. Now we wait a couple of days for that cement to dry and then he'll get the next pillar up and going. Then the gate itself. For those of you who have been here before, I thought I'd put a drawing of where the gate will be. And a few pics of them pouring the cement.As for the Cholera situation...I guess it depends on where you check as to what is happening. We really don't have any more news on this end. We are just waiting to see what the government will do, along with the many, many organizations who are working to control this.

As we know things, we will pass them along. Until then, keep praying. And along with us, remember God IS in control and He knows what is happening here. We are safely in His hands. We simply praise Him for all He has done and is doing in Haiti. I hope you, with us, are keeping your hand firmly grasping His in all situations.
