We have arrived in PAP after travelling all Sat and Sunday. The city is still alive – people on the streets, things being sold. But the destruction is everywhere – so many buildings down it is impossible to count. We saw dozens of tent camps already.
We will desposit all of our bags at the FNJD depot and then go find our own camp for the night. Hopefully we will be able to sleep. Tuesday we will do a medical clinic in one of the camps with Ernst and FNJD. I'm not sure the plan for tomorrow.
My mother-in-law died as we arrived in Santo Domingo. It was a difficult decision to continue on the trip, but I do believe it is the right thing to do. My wonderful girls have each other, and all the arrangements were taken care of in advance. But I will mourn personally along with the Haitian people, all of whom have lost someone, yet they go on.
A physician working with Ernst, who drove us all the way from Santo Domingo lost his daughter – and yet he continues to work. And so will I.
Please keep us all in your prayers.
Thanks!
love
