A brief note on why there has been an absence of photos on our blog. We felt that the devastation of Port-au-Prince has been widely documented (if you don't believe me, just ask Google), and that us taking photos would be somewhat akin to taking "souvenirs," if you will, of the earthquake. Somehow it didn't feel respectful to be out snapping photos of fallen-down buildings, etc., when all that those photos would communicate is that we were there.
But we are indeed here, and now that our roles are becoming more defined we will start taking/posting photos on specific things happening in our day-to-day lives.
Speaking of specific things: the MCC meat is due to arrive TODAY! Attentive readers will know that we've been working on getting this here for the last 10 days or so. It's been delayed multiple times: because of a problem at the Port-au-Prince airport we had to route the flight through Santo Domingo, from which it was trucked across the border (slooowly and bureaucratically) and to a local warehouse. Today we're meeting the meat and will hopefully be able to finish the distribution process soon. Canned meat photos likely to come.

Thank you for the updates. We praise God for you and your work.
finally figured a way punched through the great firewall of China to be able to get to the blog with some measure of stability! Wa-hoo. We love you guys and miss you. Our entire family has been praying regularly and checking out the "google souvenirs" daily to stay connected and fresh in our prayers. Thanks for the great article in The Nation.
