18 March Elections, prayers, praises

A windy day alternating between rain and sun. Overall cool weather so didn't hear many kids in school today. Today and yesterday distant drums fill the afternoon air.

Our days focus on school and office work. Cory talked to several people yesterday about plants and grafting. The office work includes making contacts and plans for this summer's travel.

Please pray for presidential elections on Sunday. John Pierre who normally travels to Cap Haitian several times a week will be staying home, choosing not to travel. Warnings of potential violence and how to best prepare have arrived from the US embassy. We don't plan to go anywhere.

Please pray as well concerning my brother Todd's team due to visit us in June. We thought last Friday that the purchase of all the needed tickets was completed but we wait for conformation on the flights into/out of Haiti.

Praise! I visited Pastor Jonas's wife a couple of days ago and she reports feeling much better. No more voices in her head since she restarted medications following a visit to a new clinic. Our clinic doesn't handle most psychiatric cases therefore carry only a mild antidepressant.

Praise- received a request for 75 adult health books and 50 children's from an organization working in Southern Haiti. We're thankful that the book will touch lives throughout Haiti where we've never visited.
