LATER SATURDAY

Gary got home from Bible school jubilant over the way they responded to the teachings today. I had lunch ready and due to the heat of the afternoon, there's not much energy for anything else. Just read that two Jordanian Peacekeepers were killed in Port au Prince. Evidently, they were in Cite Soliel patrolling and came upon a band of thieves. Perhaps these deaths will bring more attention to the fact that these gangs must be stopped if Haiti is going to move forward. I don't have any answers of how. We travel in and out of Port all the time but there are routes we dare not take due to the violent criminals. Young, fearless, poor, faithless, controlling a large slum in Port with not much resistence. St Marc is rather peaceful although, there are two gangs raising their heads after long silence. We pray it stays quiet. I always pray for nine months of peace so the children can go to school. But, violence came to one of our students and I cannot explain why. Until next time, Carolyn
