13 April.

School day declared finished and 'Spring Break' officially started. Basically the time arrived to pack and straighten the house so called it quits.

Read today that the official results of the Presidential elections which were to be released on the 14th will be delayed until the 18th. If all remains calm we travel back home on Tuesday the 19th so please pray for things to remain calm.

Heard today that Chris and Kathleen Sloan plan to join us for the month of June!! You may remember that they spent 8 months working with us and Chris is now finishing up his 1 st year of medical school. Now to work on tickets.

A prayer request for our area. Last week I shared about the pastor who feared being attacked over his association with the man who won the local deputy race. Well a couple times since then we heard large groups of people walking down the road, making lots of noise. We also heard gun shots one night and were told it was due to this group protesting the deputy election. Cory learned yesterday that they continue to cause trouble..have nailed the Wesleyan church door shut in Ti Bouk and causing other problems like digging a trench 1/2 way across the road.

Politics in Haiti can become violent fast. Revenge also takes place. Last year just down the road from us an man fresh out of prison was killed after beating up a motorcycle taxi driver and steeling the bike. Please pray for a peaceful end to this groups frustration. Pray that people learn that God's love works much better than violence.

If all goes well we will be back home late on Tuesday the 19th. Don't know if I'll have a chance to blog or not. Thank you for your prayers.

Asking for peace!!! For God's protection, and for His will to be accomplished, which, of course, it will be.
