> Dear Friends and Family,
>
> This is just a quick note to let you know that our
> family has been able to
> return to Haiti!  We feel very blessed that we have
> been able to return so
> quickly.  We arrived in Haiti on Friday, March 19.
>
> Things here are calm and we feel that most people
> feel positive about the
> change that has taken place.  Today, as I drove the
> kids to school, I passed
> through town and saw several groups of neighborhood
> volunteers, clearing away
> piles of garbage and cleaning the streets.  Food and
> fuel are both available.
> School in Cap-Haitien are back in session.  (This is
> usually a big indicator of
> whether people expect more unrest or not.)  When we
> arrived back into
> Port-au-Prince on Friday, we saw some U.S. soldiers
> at the airport.  Here in Cap, there
> are French troops, but there are not nearly as many
> as were here back in
> 1994-1995.
>
> We are eager to get back to work.  W. is
> working on finishing touches on
> the two new school buildings that were put up in
> January this week.  M. is
> trying to get caught up in the office.  We also
> ought to mention that all of
> our associates here--the staff at the Center, as
> well as Pastors K., P.,
> W., J., Z.,  and D. and their
> families are all doing well.
>
> We ask that you join us in prayer that the interim
> leaders will be
> conscientious in their jobs and will encourage
> reconcilation and rebuilding of the
> country.
>
> Thank you to so many of you who called and wrote and
> offered hospitality
> during this time of upheaval.  We appreciate your
> friendship and prayers!
>
> Much love,
>
> The M. Family
