As I was laying in bed last night I was really overwhelmed with all the devastation around us. I think that these next few days are going to be tough. The people are starting to get desperate and are starting to do anything to get food and water.
Pray that God will provide food and water to those in need. We are hearing of a few different aid organizations on the ground in Haiti now, so hopefully people start to get their basic needs met.
We are unsure of how we are going to get things like food, diesel, propane, water etc. We are conserving as much as we can, not knowing when the next time will be that we can get any of these things.
Our diesel fuel was ordered before the earthquake, so now we are at the mercy of the delivery truck. We know that God is in control and knows our needs. Without diesel we can not run the generator to run our hospital. We have about 2000 gallons right now, but having to run many vehicles different places to get supplies that are being flown in, distribute those supplies and running our generator for about 14 hours a day, that supply will only last about 2 weeks.
This morning we sent 4 trucks to go to the airport to meet the planes that are flying in with more people and supplies from Samaritan's purse. They loaded up the plastic that was cut yesterday to distribute to people needing shelter, along the way to the airport. Pray for safety as they distribute this. There is always danger involved when you are distributing things to desperate people.

I am so glad everyone is ok. I was thinking and praying for all of you. My mom and dad spoke with Lin and Ruth last night and said everyone is good. Please let Lucy know we are thinking of all of you. We will continue to pray for everyone. God Bless you all!
