Friends of Haiti,

Christmas 2011 is much different than our first Christmas working in Haiti. Then, we had no idea how things were going to turn out. How we would ever do the things we felt God wanted us to do or, really, how to even begin to do them?

As we said last month, some of you have been with us since that time. A family near Kansas City first, then a family in Maryland Heights, Mo. And not long after, friends in the Denver area, then Colorado Springs, Texas, Arkansas, southern Missouri, North Carolina, Montana, Indiana and the list could go on.

Although the rain is good for those who are trying to grow crops, it made you wonder each night, what was going on in the tent cities, where thousands continue to live. Because of the business that has started in those areas, you have to wonder if these places will just turn into more slums.
