Pwotestasyon

Well, I'm not sure what news you are seeing from Haiti, we have seen demonstrations ourselves, but none have been violent in our area thus far. Brother Durand has good connections with his job, and has known about the demonstrations and locations of them ahead of time. In knowing all of this, we knew about the protests today, and planned for a half day. We ended up with more of a 3/4 day, with a little progress on the building and a chance to clean things up for the church service tomorrow. It was an okay day, with someone still feeling ill, but we didn't have a huge workload today. A little frustration with our local contractor, however it wasn't anything to serious.  

At lunch, yet again, we had another fantastic meal with our hosts. After the meal Dan had the opportunity to give some toys to Brother Durand's wife, so that she can give them out into the community. If we hand them out, it can cause problems on the street. So we let the church hand them out, this will allow the church to be the champions in their own area. And in all these this we pray that God will receive the glory. 

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Even as I write Dan is reading an email from the Canadian embassy regarding the political situation. We will continue to be vigilant as we are in public. At our hotel we feel quite safe with our walls and armed guards, so far. Pray for us regardless of how we feel. We have just discussed plans in case things escalate. We are in God's hands regardless of what happens.
