Dear Friends,

I have not been able to get through to Haiti again but I thought you would want to know the following;

The Red Cross has been no help because I need to know a bout my staff and building...I am trying to find some agency to help....

The Wall's Guesthouse where we stay has been destroyed...there is no information on the status of the staff and guest...these were the people that were so good to me when I got sick and had to go to the Haitian Hospital a few years ago.....

The CSI guesthouse has sustained damages as has their orphanage...all the missionaries are safe and slept outside last night....

your notes of encouragement and phone calls are keeping me grounded....

SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST; My number two employee Ricardo's wife Gyna is at the end of a long difficult pregnancy and was due to have a c section this coming monday by a specialist there in Haiti.....They lived in the town where the earthquake actually hit Carre Four and I do not know if they are alive but please pray for them and for that unborn baby....

INfo: Most of my staff lived within three blocks of the Good Shepherd Compound that collapsed..please keep them in your prayers...also

we have a large quantity of food and powdered milk at Hope if the building is still standing (I have no idea)and if any of the cooks are alive we could cook and feed the people...but we must have water....please pray for this project and when I speak with Joel again I will send another update....

to those of you are have expressed a willingness to go to Haiti....at the present time there is no way...but as soon as possible I will let you know...there will be a great need when we can safely get there...as of this morning even the Red Cross is not going on ground.....

I feel as though I have spoken with every agency immaginable to no avail...if you have any suggestion please let me know....

Love always, Liz
