Phone call Jan.19

Kris called this morning at 4:45. We've heard the phones work better early morning. She worked at the Wesleyan Mission Petit Goave compound yesterday and they are sleeping in a building without damage. Part of the wall is down and some of the buildings damaged so crowd control may be difficult. There were a lot of serious medical cases they saw yesterday. In Haiti tetnis is only regularly given for childbirth so most aren't vaccinated. There will be many more deaths in a month or so from injuries if they don't get vaccinated. She said it was impressive to hear huge groups singing hymns and praising God, like the thousands at the college, and there was just a small group of Voodoo. We have heard that here was a lot of Voodoo near the epicenter and in the east-central part of the south penninsula of Haiti. A person that lives near the Petit Goave compound was mad because he thought America bombed Haiti.

More help should be arriving today. Chris Sloan's dad plans to arrive in Port Wednesday to help at the new mobile field hospital. We still don't know what location it will be set up.
