Oriani Haiti: (Quickly typed excuse typo errors)
I have received at least 10 different testimonies the last two days. I
talked also at length or spent the day with Minister and missionary
Dallas Koehn. I shared with him some of the issues shared earlier. He
added one more example: Another minister brother's wife here makes a
extra 8 plates of food a day for there immediate neighbors that do not
have enough food.The culture is community oriented and has also quite a 
social courtesies and social respects I need to brush up on back in NA.

One of the more touching testimonies I received was from a single
mother with two children. Her mother is dead and she lives in a very
poor life. She survived the earthquake in Jacmel in a house that lost
some of its inhabitants. She has made a change the last year to live
for God. She is not yet in doctrine class. She wants so much to be a
member, but first she wished she was married, because in hard times
when her children are hungry men prey on her with gifts of food for
immoral pleasure. She is basically a orphan and relies on her sister
who is our sister for help. She said she is committed and is following
through. We were moved to pray for her.

Another was a home where a brother and sister and their children were
sitting together in the yard. They had no food and had not eaten that
day. They have a garden but it is not ready to harvest. He dug a
16x16x12 hole the last four years through rock for a cistern. He is
waiting for CSI to help him complete it. However it has not been done
before some good rains caved in the space between the cistern and the
house. Now his house is cracking and settling into the hole. His
children now moved from their room to the only other room with their
parents.  (8'x8') Side note is that his wife got cholera just a little
while ago and nearly died twice. However --no lie--- the woman's face
glowed with happiness, though the husband seemed clouded with
responsibility. six children--by the looks of it all under 12.

Today an old man shared two times he was saved. Once when his mule
fell off the side of the mountain with him on it and something held
him as he watched his mule continue falling. He broke down and said
that memory affects him greatly because God held him for no reason
other than to save him. The other was when he was a soldier at an
outpost and his friends told him not to go on a patrol to a certain
area. When he got there he fell on the ground while his fellow
officers were shot. He cannot believe God counted him worthy to be
spared and allowed him to become his child.

The missionary and I were both touched and impressed with hearing the
testimonies of these mountain people. It is a revival as they tell you
of the different churches they have belonged and as they have said,
"This Church does not play" and "This Church teaches the Bible" and
most in this area mention the doctrines and their soundness. Thanks
for you time and remember to pray for your brother and sisters because
they are not without their weaknesses.
