Elections

Today was the day for the legislative elections. On Wednesday night, the Hatian government decided that Thursday and Friday of this week would be holidays... so the kids didn't have to go to school. This is because they were anticipating that a lot of people would be out voting. Unfortunately, our Creol teacher came to class this morning and told us that he didn't see many people out voting. He said that at the election last February, he went to vote at 5:00am and there was already a line-up of 2,000 people. It seems that not as many people are interested in voting this time around, but who knows... maybe more people decided to vote later in the day this time. Either way, we sure haven't noticed any unrest around here whatsoever.

I don't know what the news has been saying, if anything, but there's not really much to report. It has just been like any other day... except the kids were out of school. I just thought I'd give you an update on that, since I'm sure at least some of you have been wondering how things have been going. A lot of people have asked me how the political unrest has been, but I haven't seen any. Things here are obviously different than life at home, but thankfully, I haven't seen any unrest at all. I'm also told that when there is unrest, we don't usually see it up here on the mountain anyways... so that's a comforting thought! Haha!
Thanks again for all your prayers!

Thanks for reassuring us. It is super to know that you are high enough up not to really be bothered by political unrest. Just enjoy those children.

There are sooooo many people praying for Haiti. There is a "Haitian Angels" chat site that alot of parents keep their eye on for information. Lots of them are praying for Haiti, the orphanages, the staff, volunteers, nannies,and of course their children. Mr.Cadet is at the top of the prayer list as well. You are remembered by many and God will always be with you. That's His promise.
Thanks for the update. Keep loving those kids in Jesus name!
